All about Episode 9 of Press Your Luck season 4

In the new episode of Press Your Luck, three new contestants will play the game to win life-changing cash and prizes. The players are:

  1. Madalyn Foley - hometown - Springfield, Missouri
  2. LaShondra Morris - hometown - Detroit, Michigan
  3. Edgar Camacho - hometown - Napa, California

These players will try their best to avoid the “iconic and devilish” Whammy while playing the game. If these players encounter Whammy, they will go home empty-handed.

In the preview clip of the new episode, “multihyphenate” host Elizabeth Banks asks the three players about 4C’s of diamond. Madalyn hits the button first to answer the question and gives the correct answer, followed by the other two players.

In this game of wits and strategy, the stakes are even higher than before. During each game of Press your Luck, these contestants will compete against each other, answering questions to earn spins on the Big Board.

The contestants will then “use their spins to win cash and prizes while trying to avoid the Whammy, who could take all of their winnings and leave them with nothing,” as per the press release.

After elimination, only one contestant will move on to the All-New Bonus Round to face the Whammy and win million dollar cash prize in a final battle to win a fortune.

In the second round, the contestants answered questions about passwords, static electricity, bands, and the new $20 bill to win spins. Freddie, Rita, and Jake won 5, 7, and 4 spins, respectively.

Rita hit a Whammy during the play, which took away her $28,999. However, she got $7,750 with her later spins. Continuing his winning streak, Jake won a bodyguard for a month.

Jake then gave Freddie 4 spins, so the latter won a Swiss Alps train trip and a soft serve T-shirt. He ranked up to $67,345 and moved to the bonus round.
