In the bonus round, Freddie initially won $28,959 but later made $49,577 in the second round. His total reached $60,626 in the third round. He lost $71,626 in the fourth round to a whammy with all of his gifts and was not able to win anything in the fifth round.
Freddie did go home with his round two earnings. His competitors stayed back to support him in the bonus challenge because his family could not be there to support him. Host Elizabeth Banks grew emotional from the same and praised the 'Press Your Luck' family.
