Press Your Luck | Michael Larson's spins of terror

It was taped May 1984, aired in June 1984. Michael Larson, an unemployed ice cream truck driver of Lebanon, OH would take some learned knowledge to the board, against Ed Long and Janie Litras (now known as Janie Litras-Dakan). This clip has all the spins that Michael took, along with some reactions from Peter Tomarken, and the number of spins Michael took.

Uncle Paul is a character from the Opie and Anthony show and you would really need to listin to the show to understand. but they talked about this show on there show

[mtiller2006]

@jpreziose I had never heard of that show until now, but I get the picture of it now. Thanks for clearing that up

[mtiller2006]

No offense to those who kept posting "Uncle Paul" comments, but although I understand your heart towards "Uncle Paul," I am totally confused on who you guys are talking about, and I am tired of not hearing who this guy really is. Until I know for sure who "Uncle Paul" is, I cannot accept those kind of comments anymore because I don't want any confusion going on. Sorry for any inconvenience

@mtiller2006 just google/images it and im sure ull figure it out

[mtiller2006]

@RoyMunsoned I got it figured out prior to the comment you posted, so it's all right now

Oh, sure I remember this show. Its re-runs aired after school during the '90s and I remember hearing the contestants shout, "No whammy, no whammy, c'mon big bucks big bucks". Although sometimes it sounded like "big butts."

@parlet

I think people were less concerned about themselves back then.

This is what happens when you put all your points into LCK.

5:07 :D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, he didn't cheat, he figured out the pattern. When that computer lit up the upper right corner, then went to the big bucks, that's when Michael would press it immediately! If he hesitated, he might had hit a whammy. He had to be quick like a jack rabbit, to constantly land on the big bucks space.

[costmo69]

I dont consider it cheating. it was just skill, he knew when to hit to avoid the whammy.

[tpark12]

Man, that was sure insane for michael larson and very unusual. the 5,000 plus an extra spin is the best. man, if i would've hit that all the time. it's really great. Too bad the computer does its own random pattern. i mean if i had the control of the pattern that would have been perfect for me.
