Big Bucks: The Press Your Luck Scandal, Part 1/11

This is the story of Press Your Luck's all-time biggest winner, Michael Larson. Michael was an unemployed ice cream truck driver from Ohio who had something planned to beat all the other Press Your Luck contestants and break the game show bank. Even the host of Press Your Luck, Peter Tomarken (as well as everyone else), wanted to know what kind of guy Michael is.

[SurgingChaos19]

I definately agree with you. Michael Larson definately is a game show legend in my eyes.

[miketh2005]

@braves4life25 He did keep the money, are you nuts?

[AndrewDBarker]

@braves4life25 He was allowed to keep his money. He lost it all to a scam and died of cancer in 1999.

@braves4life25 "Genius". Not "genious."

[staff0flag]

@braves4life25 He was allowed to keep the money. He later lost half of it when his home was broken into (he was trying to match seriel numbers to a radio show contest.)

[specimen25]

he's only 35 and he looks like that?!

[aoinatafanboy84]

@zentaaki I did, I was hoping someone else would too.

[GunGemini]

The rules say you cant memorize the board so how is this cheating?

good for him.

@landrykkb There is also an urban legend that Michael Larson molested children during his employment as an ice cream truck driver!

[landrykkb]

Something seemed fishy about Michael Larson being an "unemployed ice cream truck driver".I mean,it sounds as if he just fabricated that before he appeared on PYL.

You guys need to stop taking this CBS's liberal greedy butthurt way. Michael Larson is a game show legend and genius and he got a bang for his buck (knowledge).
