What happened on Press Your Luck tonight?
Tonight on Press Your Luck, three contestants on the show were:
- Arnetta Villela-Smith: 40-year-old college professor from Louis, Missouri, who has been married for five years and recently had her first 'pandemic' child
- Billy Duncan: A 26-year-old family man from Bakersfield, California, who works as a front desk receptionist and has two children
- Janet Jacquier: A 33-year-old student development counselor from Seal Beach, California, who lives in the freshman dorm
In the first round, the contestants were asked questions about Snow White, their favorite potato chips flavor, and basketball players. No one earned any spin on the first question, and no one could guess which basketball player's first name was Earvin.
Janet won no spins. Billy achieved one win, while Arnetta won four spins for the round. After Arnetta gave her one spin to Billy, she won a total of $6,508. Billy also won $1875 with his two spins.
In the second round, the players were asked questions about air quotations, ham slicing techniques, National Ugly Sweater Day, and Modern Family actresses. No one knew the answers about ham slicing. Thus, all three of the players won 6 spins each.
Janet took the lead in the second round and earned an extra spin after winning a car worth more than $40,000. She earned $56,277 before passing down her four remaining spins to Arnetta. She also had to pick up Billy's three spins and won a yacht with them, totaling her money up to $73,622.
Billy won $10,000, and Arnetta lost all her money twice because of Whammies but was still able to come second in the show by earning $21,750.
The episode description reads,
"The WHAMMY can really throw a wrench on winning big money, but host Elizabeth Banks knows big comebacks can happen. Banks is joined by contestants Billy Duncan (hometown: Bakersfield, California), Janet Jacquier (hometown: Seal Beach, California) and Arnetta Villela-Smith (hometown: St. Louis, Missouri)."
Janet reached the bonus round.
