Everything you should know about the upcoming episode of Press Your Luck Season 4

Press Your Luck is based on the 1980s daytime game show which aired for three seasons on CBS. The second episode of the fourth season will see three contestants competing to establish dominance and win the grand prize.

Justin Ebenhack from Cap-Haitien, Haiti, Chip Vernier from Waterford, Michigan, and Debbie Gwaltney, Ferndale, Washington, will feature in the upcoming episode. Contestants on Press Your Luck have to avoid the animated character Whammy, who has the power to steal all their winnings and leave them with nothing. They have to be careful, or else they might have to go home empty-handed.

The three players will begin the episode by answering questions to earn spins on the Big Board. Players can then spin to win cash and prizes, trying to avoid Whammy in the process. Players who have encountered Whammy and have zero cash left are eliminated from the show. The winning contestant will move on to the Bonus Round. The final round requires contestants to face Whammy before they can secure the fortune.
