It would be inappropriate to make "whammy" jokes

that sucks. i liked that guy and loved the show. at least he was living the good life, seeing that he was married to some girl 22 years younger than him.

I loved "Press Your Luck"! Used to watch it all the time, and then that guy cracked the "randomness" and took them for a ton of money. Then they changed it to the new version you see now.


Anyway, RIP. .

The best thing about Press Your Luck was the random prizes. It was always something like '$85 and a hammock' or '$50 and a catamaran.'

Yes that was the 'Golden Age' of catamaran sales.
