00:00From television city in Hollywood, it's time to press your luck.
00:11I just came off a three-day trek from my hometown in Ohio.
00:16And I drive an ice cream truck.
00:19I love the show. I've probably seen it rips.
00:22I like the guy. Stories like those are why America loves game shows.
00:26Let's meet our three contestants vying for the big bucks.
00:29Big bucks.
00:31Now the big board is filled with money, but be careful of the whammies because they'll take you right back down to zero.
00:38Let's see those big bucks.
00:41Stop!
00:42$4,000 and a spin.
00:43I'm gonna keep going.
00:45Stop!
00:46$16,000.
00:48Pass, man.
00:50Mathematicians are giving me six to one odds.
00:52What's wrong with this guy?
00:53Keep going.
00:54He's gonna go.
00:55Stop!
00:57$24,000.
00:59Not again!
01:00We have a problem. Somebody didn't vet this guy.
01:06He's not playing the game right.
01:08We gotta scare him.
01:09It'd be a real pity if he got held up here in L.A.
01:14It's a lot of money. Do you want to spend and risk losing it all?
01:17It's a lot of money. Do you want to spend and risk losing it all?
01:22I said again.
01:24I tried to warn him.
01:28Just find out who this guy is.
01:32Are you doing something wrong?
01:38I'm actually closing a big deal right now.
01:40That's gonna change everything.
01:42Go.
01:45I don't know what to tell you.
01:46You're gonna roll for this.
01:48I know you from somewhere.
01:50Not America's Most Wanted, right?
01:52You think that he's working alone?
01:53I have no idea.
01:54All part of the game, right?
01:56You just made more than anyone in the history of game shows.
02:03Luck is just a good excuse to do nothing
02:05and then hope that an opportunity comes a knocking.
