Today, these three players are after HIGH STAKES, but they'll have to avoid the whammy, as they play the most EXCITING game of their lives. From Schmarder City in Elizabethtown, it's time to:

Yes, it's one of the most exciting game shows of the 1980's. On this show, people earn spins by answering questions. These spins are used to play on THE BIG BOARD! On the board, there are cash amounts, lots of prizes, and much more. A little square light is bouncing around different squares on the board. A contestant would then hit a buzzer in front of them to stop the bouncing light. Whatever is around the light, the contestant receives. You could get Big Bucks, Cash, even Prizes, but whatever you do, DO NOT hit this little thing:

That's right, it's the whammy that we all know and love. Should you stop the light on him, he will take all of your money and set you back to $0. The whammy is probably the main reason why people like Press Your Luck.

Michael Larsen

The greatest PYL player of all time. Larsen was the highest money winner on Press Your Luck, winning $110,237. By memorizing the light patterns, he could get on the show and win thousands and thousands of dollars.

Meet Larsen, and watch him start playing.

Watch Larsen keep playing while risking all of that money!
