Or the Major Wager or Double Play. We'll add the $80 in front of you, for a total so far this tourney of $42,080. See you soon, we hope. In the meantime, James Greek is going to join me at the Big Money Winners' Board. Let's go! (Let's Go Shopping! cue)(cheers and applause as James gets up from his seat, he joins me as the doors open, revealing a display of the house and a video screen featuring the RV) Well done, James. That was a real nailbiter. Your thoughts on the match, sir?

Yes, what a ride, indeed. Now, James, we've already heard about the RV worth over $1,000,000. However, there is one other element to this grand prize package, aside from the $5,000,000 in cash, that needs to be discussed. That is a new house. Steve? Steve: It's home sweet home at Latitudes by Margaritaville! Discover paradise in Hilton Head, Daytona Beach or Water Sound. The breeze model offers over 2000 square feet of living space, comfort and luxury. Plus, enjoy the laid-back Margaritaville lifestyle, exciting recreation, fantastic cuisine and more, all in an award-winning community. Your home sweet home awaits! and this bonus is worth:
Greg: that prize alone would change someone's life forever... So we've got the new home for the Grand Champion for this season.....we've got a b-e-a-utiful recreational vehicle for the Grand Champion....so far that's $ 1,472,413 in prizes that somebody is GUARANTEED to win at the end of the finals. That alone would be an amazing package by itself....but we spared no expense this season....and there is one more important detail to include....and that includes.....this! *Points upwards as Stacy brings forth the "Reg Grundy Memorial Glass Suitcase"*Steve: A cash bonus of $5,027,587.....for a grand total of $6,500,000!!!!!Greg: Steve.....that's an interesting amount of money. I'm curious to ask why the extra $27,587 is tacked on there?Steve: Tony had something similar in the 1987 International Tournament.....isn't that right, Tony?
*Tony Barber and Pete Smith nod in agreement off stage*
Tony: We had the Holden Car and $69,000 and change to make an even prize of AUS$100,000 for that year's champion....things certainly have changed.

Yeah, but Tone, I believe you said in 1990 that "whilst in ten or twenty years' time, no doubt million dollar prizes will be the go". (Tony nods in agreement) Right. Anyway, James, we have something for us to do to fill time. It's the Big Money Winners' Board. We call it Big Money, because it's all cash. We have amounts of $25K, $50K, $75K, $100K, $200K and $250K on the board plus 3 win cards. What you match is what you get. However, find all 3 win cards on the first 3 picks....and you win $500,000 in cash! (audience cheers) Sound good?

3, 5, 12, 15. We'll start off with #3. Does that have a "WIN" behind it? (#3 reveals...) (ding)Stacey: No, but a good start. $100,000.Greg: That's good, but there goes the half-a-million. What's behind #5? (#5 reveals...) (ding)Stacey: A quarter of a million.Greg: If we can find the match to that, that would be great. #12? (#12 reveals...) [WIN!]Stacey: Oh, there's the WIN! card. Don't you wish you'd found that first?Greg: Indeed. Now, normally, we'd ask you if you want to stay with your selection or pick another in the hopes of continuing, but we did say the first three picks had to be WIN! cards, didn't we? What's at #15? (#15 reveals...) (dings, fanfare, audience cheers) Stacey: $75,000! Congratulations, James!Greg: So, that's $75,000 that you've won right now. Where were the other two WIN! cards? Stacey: 7 and 13, they were in a corner.Greg: So, you've won $75,000 in cash. However, James, don't be disheartened, because third place for the two-game final is $1,000,000. So, you're practically a millionaire. (audience gasps and cheers loudly) And second place is $2.5 million. (audience cheers even louder) I know, you're all wondering where we're getting this money from. Disney. Anything you'd like to say before we go?
