In that case, let's see who's on the Xfinity CashCard Hotline. It's Tim Macias from Westfield, Massachusetts. (the "Hotline" phone rings, I answer it)Tim: Hello?Greg: Hi, Tim, this is Greg Palmer from $ale of the Century. How are you doing? Tim: Fine, I guess. I can't believe I got called.Greg: You'd better believe it. Hay, you're watching us on WWLP, 22 News, up there in the Pioneer Valley. Are you ready to win some cash? Tim: You bet.Greg: Great. All right, so, just for us calling you and being selected, just because Marc decided not to play, we're going to be giving you $5,000 in cash. Now, you have a chance to increase that. Pick a suit. If you get the $15 or Take $5, you keep your five-grand. Get the $5,000 and pick again, we'll give you $5,000 more and you'll pick again. If you get the CashCard, we'll add a zero to your winnings for a total of $50,000. Now, should you get the bonus spin and then the CashCard, that'll be a total of $60,000. Tim: That sounds fantastic. I'll pick Hearts. Greg: The man wants Hearts. (Minnie selects the Hearts icon) Good luck, Tim. For $50,000.... Minnie, spin 'em! (Minnie presses a button, and the reels spin) |
