01:32So, think about it.
01:33More on that coming up a little

01:42tonight.
01:43As the wheel spins, the light
01:44above your seat will be lit
01:45when that wheel stops.
01:46If it's your light that's lit,
01:47you're going to be the first
01:48contestant down here.
01:49Going to play Vortex.
01:50Going to be way in the back
01:51row there.
01:52Way in the back.
01:53All right, Bob.
01:54Oh, look, it's little Bob.
01:55Bob.
01:56Hi, Bob.
01:57Very nice to meet you.
01:58How are you?
01:59I'm good.

02:14Bob, very nice to meet you.
02:15Step over here.
02:16This is Linda.
02:17Have a great time tonight.
02:18I do.
02:19Congratulations, sir.
02:20You are our first contestant
02:21and already, just for being
02:22selected, you have won something.
02:23Linda, what's he won?
02:24Bob, with the rolling prairies
02:25of Illinois, you could be
02:26rolling in dough with Prairie
02:28Gold Instant Tickets.
02:29The top prize here, $1,000.
02:33Roll on, move on.
02:34Let's go.
02:35Roll on.
02:36All right, Bob.
02:37Welcome.
02:38Good to have you along with us
02:39tonight.
02:40We're going to play Vortex and
02:41And right away with Vortex, we start you off with $4,000.
02:44And let me explain to you how you can turn that
02:46into some more cash.
02:47We like that.
02:48Take a look here on the launcher.
02:49We have seven balls, five yellow, two red.
02:52And when you release this lever here,
02:54the balls are gonna spin around here
02:55and they're gonna wind up down there in the bottom
02:57in a pattern that looks just like this.
02:59Take a look at the center ball.
03:01We want that ball to be yellow.
03:03If it is, this time around, we double your winnings.
03:07That'll be $8,000 that we're talking about here, okay?
03:11Whenever you're ready, give that lever a pull
03:14and you'll be drawn into the Vortex.
03:16Good luck, Bob.
03:16That brings a smile to his face.
03:18Double the money.
03:19All right.
03:20All right.
03:21All right.
03:22All right.
03:23All right.
03:23Oh boy.
03:24Come on.
03:25Come on, come on, come on, come on.
03:28Get in there.
03:29Get in there.
03:30Come on.
03:31What's it gonna be?
03:32Come on.
03:33Get in there.
03:33Come on.
03:34Hey, ah.
03:35Ah.
03:36Not what you wanted to see.
03:38Red's in the center.
03:39We can't double your money,
03:40but you still have that $4,000 we gave you.
03:42Bet you do.
03:43So?
03:44And you have another shot at trying
03:45to make some more money out of it.
03:46Take a look.
03:47We have the second set of balls up on the launcher here.
03:49Things are a little different this time.
03:51Four yellow, three red.
03:53But this time around, we will triple your money
03:57to $12,000 if you wind up with a yellow ball in the center.
04:01Okay?
04:01Okay.
04:02Give that lever a pull.
04:03Come on, Bob.
04:04I know you can do it, Bob.
04:05Come on.
04:06Talk to us.
04:07Think positive.
04:09Yeah, you gotta give them instructions
04:11on where to wind up, you know.
04:14Okay, yellow in the center.
04:1812 grand.
04:18Come on, come on.
04:19Yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow.
04:22See?
04:23It helped.
04:24It helped.
04:25Perfect.
04:26Yellow's in the center.
04:27We triple your money.
04:28You now have $12,000, Bob.
04:31All right.
04:31Congratulations.
04:32Good job.
04:3312 grand is yours.
04:35And it's decision time.
04:36Very nice.
04:37You have to decide what to do with that $12,000.
04:39You can take it and you can decide to walk away.
04:42But you can also decide to go on.
04:44I should point out here that things have gotten
04:46a little bit tougher, you see.
04:47Three yellow, four red balls, okay?
04:50So that's why you need to make this decision.
04:52You can take the 12 grand and walk,
04:53or you can decide to go on.
04:55And if you wind up with a yellow ball in the center
04:58on your final pull, this time around,
05:00we multiply your winnings by four.
05:02$48,000 is what you would win.
05:05Woo!
05:07However, you gotta keep this in mind, though, Bob,
05:10when you're making this decision.
05:12You wind up with a red ball in the center,
05:14then your winnings are gonna be,
05:16you can do the math.
05:18Your winnings will be cut in half.
05:20You'd wind up with $6,000.
05:21So your decision is, do you wanna take the $12,000
05:24and stop, or you wanna try and turn it into $48,000?
05:28Now, don't forget, the person who wins
05:29the most money tonight is gonna come back
05:31at the end of the night to play pot of gold
05:33and could win up to $200,000.
05:35There.
05:37Your decision.
05:39I'll go.
05:40You're gonna go for it?
05:41Yeah.
05:42Okay. All right.
05:43He's gonna go.
05:43Wish him good luck.
05:45Good luck, Bob.
05:46Give it a pull.
05:47Let's see what happens.
05:47Woo!
05:50I wanna see it happen for you.
05:51That's amazing.
05:54Gotta tell her where to go.
05:56Okay.
05:57Yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow,
06:00yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow.

08:56Another one that comes back at the end of the night
08:58to play Pot of Gold.
09:00Wow.
09:01I don't know who it's gonna be.
09:01The wheel's spinning, the lights are flashing.
09:04Who is the next contestant going to be?
09:06We got somebody right in the middle, it looks like.
09:09Oh!
09:10Oh!
09:10All right.
09:12John.
09:14Hi, John.
09:14Good to meet you.
09:15This is Linda.
09:16Step on over here to the center, will ya?
09:17All right, good luck tonight.
09:18Good luck.
09:19You are already a winner.
09:20Linda's gonna tell you right now what you've won.
09:21Watch, tell them.
09:23John, here is a chance to turn your pocket change
09:26into an extra 500 bucks fast
09:29with pocket change instant tickets.
09:31It even has a bonus coin for an extra chance to win.
09:35Good luck.
09:36All right.
09:37Sounds good to me.
09:39All right.
09:40Welcome, John.
09:42Like baseball?
09:43Yeah.
09:43Cool.
09:44We're gonna play this game called Home Run.
09:46And if you take a look here, here's how we play.
09:47You can see that there are three ball players.
09:49There's an orange, a blue, and a yellow player.
09:51And they're all trying to make it down to home plate.
09:54That's what you do in baseball.
09:55Over here, there are duplicates of those players.
09:58And as we open a window, it's gonna advance
10:00the corresponding player one base closer to home plate.
10:04So, let's say the orange player reaches home plate first.
10:07$1,000 is what you're gonna win.
10:08Not bad.
10:09I'm sure you could use that.
10:11That'll work.
10:12Blue player hits home plate first.
10:14This is good.
10:14A lot better.
10:15$10,000.
10:17Sure you could use that more.
10:19Then there's the yellow player.
10:20You see there's no dollar value
10:21assigned to that player yet.
10:23That's where you come in.
10:24You get to be kind of the coach here.
10:26You decide how much that player is worth.
10:28On these four cards are dollar amounts up to $100,000.
10:31You pick one, and that's the value
10:33we will assign to that yellow player.
10:35Did you hear that?
10:36Wow.
10:37Yeah, well, what you wanna do is find the $100,000 one.
10:39So, why don't you try and do that?
10:40Good luck.
10:42Number three.
10:43Number three.
10:44All right, let's see.
10:45Let's see which one that's gonna be.
10:46That's nice.
10:47Nice job.
10:47$25,000.
10:49All right.
10:50Just out of curiosity, auditors,
10:53this would have been a really good one to pick right here,
10:57because that would have been the $100,000 one.
11:00But, 25 grand is a lot of money,
11:03and I'm sure that we could all use that much.
11:06That's what you're gonna be playing for.
11:07If you're ready to play Home Run,
11:09we'll move our players back to first base, please.
11:11Let's go.
11:12And we'll ask you to step into the batter's box,
11:14if you will.
11:15Let's get to winning some cash.
11:16John, good luck.
11:17Pick a number,
11:18and I guess we're really looking for the yellow card.
11:21That's what we wanna see the most.
11:22Go ahead, pick a number.
11:23All right.
11:24Number nine.
11:25Number nine.
11:26Let's see if that one's yellow.
11:27That's what we want.
11:28A blue player, not bad.
11:29Now, blue players are on second base,
11:31towards 10 grand.
11:32Pick another number, and yellow is what we want.
11:34Number three.
11:35Number three.
11:36Yellow, come on.
11:37Let's see.
11:38Another blue player.
11:39You're one base away from $10,000.
11:42What do you think?
11:43Number two.
11:44Number two.
11:46Yellow.
11:47Yellow.
11:47All right.
11:48I have a yellow player on second base.
11:51Getting good here.
11:52What do you think, John?
11:53Number 11.
11:54Number 11.
11:56I hope it's yellow,
11:57but if it's blue, you just won 10 grand.
11:59Blue player, you won $10,000.
12:03That's pretty nice.
12:05I know you said you were gonna give that to your dad,
12:07or a lot of it, anyway.
12:09So, there's a whole bunch of money right there.
12:12So, congratulations.
12:13Thanks for playing Illinois Instant Riches.
12:15By the way, you are our big money winner now,

15:26Your face just lit up.
15:27Step over here, if you would.
15:29You were great.
15:30You know, I don't know who was happier, you or all those people who stood up in the back there.
15:34Congratulations. You are our final contestant tonight, and you have already won something.
15:39All right, Merritt, you have won Lucky Charm Bingo tickets.
15:43Now, it's all the fun of previous bingo games, plus an exciting new way to win instant cash.
15:50And of course, Lucky Charm Bingo still has a $10,000 top prize.
15:55Good luck.
15:56All right.
15:58Merritt.
16:00Welcome.
16:01I love that name.
16:02What an interesting name.
16:04We're going to play Double Dollars, all right?
16:07The best way for me to explain the game is to ask you to pull the lever right there.
16:10We'll kind of get into it.
16:11Go ahead. Give that lever a pull.
16:13Oh, I guess we have to wait for a ball to get in there.
16:15That was my mistake.
16:16Now, why don't you try it?
16:18There we go. That's much better.
16:19That way, you get to win money.
16:21When the ball goes down through these pegs here, it heads towards the eight empty slots at the bottom of the game.
16:26And when you fill an empty slot like this...
16:29Oh, $5,000.
16:31Get out of here.
16:32Right there.
16:33That's the way it goes from here on out, okay?
16:36Just give the lever a pull once again.
16:38And from now on...
16:39Oops.
16:40Sorry. We'll let the ball settle.
16:41Give it another pull.
16:43All right.
16:45Every time you land in an empty slot from here on out, it's going to be another $5,000.
16:49If you land in a slot with a ball in it, it's a strike.
16:51Three strikes and you're out.
16:54There you go.
16:56$10,000.
16:58Not bad at all.
16:59$10,000.
17:00Let's see if you can make it $15,000.
17:02Go right ahead.
17:04Here it comes.
17:08You can kind of position the ball, you know.
17:10You tell it which slot you want it to go into, Derek.
17:12There you go.
17:14Looks like $15,000.
17:17Not bad.
17:19You filled three slots.
17:20There's a ball.
17:21Let's see if you can make it $20,000.
17:22$20,000.
17:23Good luck.
17:25Still no strikes.
17:27Five slots left.
17:28A lot of money on the board.
17:29He looks so calm.
17:30Yeah.
17:31Like, I can do it.
17:33Yeah.
17:36That was sort of a slam dunk, boy.
17:38That went just right in.
17:40There you go.
17:41You go for it.
17:42You're doing great.
17:43You got $20,000 already.
17:44Doing very, very well.
17:46And you're halfway there.
17:47Four slots left to fill.
17:53There you go.
17:56Woo.
17:57$25,000, Merritt.
17:59That's pretty nice.
18:00Pull away.
18:01Are you going to make it $30,000?
18:02Let's see.
18:03In a matter of, what, a few minutes?
18:05Yeah.
18:06What is the hourly on that?
18:08A lot.
18:09Wow.
18:11Only three slots left.
18:13Can you find one of them?
18:14Oh.
18:16Well, I guess it had to happen sooner or later,
18:18but that's only your first strike.
18:19You still got $25,000,
18:21and you still have a shot at making it more.
18:23Go ahead.
18:24Pull the lever, and let's see if you can make it $30,000.
18:27Come on.
18:30There's three empty slots in there with your name on it.
18:34Oh.
18:35Oh.
18:36Wow.
18:37There you go.
18:38You have hit your second strike.
18:40But as I said, you're doing great.
18:42$25,000 is how much money you have.
18:45You've done very, very well, Merritt.
18:46Congratulations on that.
18:49Decision time for you.
18:51That $25,000 that you have, you can take it,
18:53and you can decide to stop playing,
18:55or you can choose to go on.
18:56Now, if you do go on, and on your next pull,
18:59you land in one of the three remaining empty slots,
19:02we'll double your dollars from $25,000 to $50,000.
19:07A lot of cash.
19:09But while you're making your decision,
19:10you have to keep in mind that if you do get your third strike
19:13on this one, then your winnings are going to be cut in half.
19:16That's going to take you down to $12,500, okay?
19:19Now, either way, it kind of looks like
19:22you could be the big money winner.
19:25What do you think you want to do?
19:28Take the $25,000 and walk away?
19:31You're going to stop here?
19:33All right.
19:34You're $25,000 richer, Merritt.
19:36Stay right here, won't you?
19:37Stay right here with us.
19:39And not only are you $25,000 richer,
19:42you are also the big money winner of the night.
19:45We're going to have to unseat John over there,
19:47and you're going to be coming back in just a couple of minutes
19:50to play Pot of Gold.
19:52Up to $200,000 is what you could win there.
19:55Not bad.
19:56Come on back.
19:57I'm sorry.
19:58Come on back.
19:59I'm waving.

21:49Welcome back to Illinois Instant Riches.
21:53Time for our final game of the night.
21:55We're going to play Pot of Gold right now.
21:57First off, we have to welcome back Warren.
22:00Third week in a row for the champion.
22:02Welcome back, and good luck to you tonight.
22:04And the big money winner tonight, Merritt.
22:07Good luck to you as well.
22:09Merritt's got $25,000.
22:10He's going to try and make it up to maybe $200,000 if he can.
22:14Good luck to both of you.
22:15They go head-to-head in Pot of Gold, and we're going to play right now.
22:17You know where to go, Warren, down there at the end of the rainbow.
22:20And Merritt, if you would, the starting position here.
22:22Here is how we play Pot of Gold.
22:25You will note that there are five spots that separate you from the end of the rainbow.
22:29One, two, three, four, five.
22:33And the money spots underneath the rainbow.
22:35If you land here, you're going to win the amount of money that is on this spot,
22:38plus you will be the new champion.
22:41So, land here, $10,000.
22:43Land here, $25,000.
22:46Land here.
22:47This is the big money spot.
22:49You could win up to $200,000 on this one right here.
22:53So that's what you're trying to get to, I would imagine.
22:58Down here, you can take one, two, or three steps at a time.
23:02And at the same time, Warren will be deciding which of those very same steps he will booby-trap.
23:08If that's the step that you choose, you're going to be hit.
23:10You can't advance.
23:11Two hits, you're out of luck.
23:13Game's going to be over.
23:14Warren gets another $20,000 and retains the championship.
23:18Okay?
23:19That's how we do it.
23:21You ready to make your first decision?
23:23Yep.
23:24It is yours.
23:25Where does that first booby-trap go, Warren?
23:27Step two or step three?
23:28You decide and secretly lock it in now.
23:31All right.
23:32He's made his decision.
23:33Merritt, you must make yours.
23:34Where is it safe to step?
23:35One, two, or three?
23:38Step number two.
23:39Step number two.
23:40Step number two.
23:41Let's see if that's a good step or a bad step.
23:44Warren, spring your trap.
23:50Number three was where the booby-trap was that time.
23:54You avoided it this time around.
23:56Warren, step three, step four, or step five?
24:01Where does the booby-trap go?
24:02Lock it in.
24:04It's locked.
24:05Merritt, three, four, or step five?
24:07Where is it safe to step?
24:10Step three.
24:11You tell me where you're going.
24:13Step number three.
24:14All right.
24:15I just wanted to make sure.
24:16Step number three.
24:17Warren, you decide whether that was a good move or not.
24:20Spring your trap.
24:25The booby-trap went on number five that time around.
24:29All right.
24:30Got to try and figure this guy out.
24:32Where does the next booby-trap go?
24:34Four, five, or the $10,000 spot?
24:37Warren, you lock it in right now.
24:40Okay, Merritt.
24:41Still no hits.
24:42Number 10.
24:43You're moving to $10,000 spot.
24:45You got to take your step up there.
24:47Take a step right on up.
24:48You're going to move to $10,000.
24:49This is a very important step, Merritt.
24:52No booby-trap on that spot means that you will win that $10,000
24:56and you will be the new champion.
24:58Let's see how it goes.
25:00Warren, spring your trap.
25:04Ouch!
25:05That's a hit.
25:07You're going to have to move back to your previous position,
25:09which is step number three.
25:12And one hit.
25:13That means you only have one more hit to go,
25:15so you must step very, very carefully.
25:17Warren, I guess you got him on that one, didn't you?
25:19Number four, step five, or the $10,000 spot.
25:21Lock it in.
25:24The booby-trap is locked.
25:25Merritt, four, five, or the $10,000 spot.
25:28Make your move.
25:2910.
25:30It's going back to the 10.
25:33He wouldn't put a booby-trap on that spot again, would he?
25:36If he has not, once again, you're going to win the $10,000
25:39and you're going to be the new champion.
25:40If not, the game is over.
25:42Warren retains the championship and gets that $20,000.
25:45Let's see.
25:46Spring your trap.
25:49Ow!
25:50Merritt, I am sorry.
25:53Warren, you have maintained.
25:56You get yourself another $20,000.
25:58You're up to $110,000.
26:01And, Warren, you're coming back next week.
26:04You could win once again.
26:05Congratulations.
26:07And, Merritt, we've got to thank you very much
26:08for playing Illinois Instant Riches.
26:09You did a great job.
26:10Leaving with the $25,000.
