Press Your Luck
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Press Your Luck was an American game show that aired from 1983 to 1986 and later in reruns. The three contestants on each show would earn spins by answering questions that they could later use on The Big Board. On the board, they could earn thousands of dollars in cash and prizes, but had to beware of the Whammy, a cartoon demon who stole players' money and prizes. If a Whammy was hit, the contestant lost all earnings up to that time. Four Whammies took a player out of the game. The winner returned on the next show.
