When I was younger, I would watch this game show every afternoon. It became a tradition when the reruns aired on the USA Network in the afternoons several years ago. I was sad to see the reruns go, but now "Press Your Luck" has been revived on "Game Show Network" 4 times a day!
In case you don't know, "Press Your Luck" has a light-up board, with prizes, spins, and money on it, as well as a pictures of a sneaky little creature, the "Whammy," whom is out to get your money. 3 contestants answer questions in round one to gain spins, then in round two they collect money, prizes, and spins with their earned spins. If they land on any of the "Whammy" spots, they will lose all their money, but can earn it back with existing spins. The Whammies will always dance across the screen in animated form, which si qute comical. 4 Whammies ends your game, and the person with the most the most money is the winner.
This was a great game show, and I am so happy it's back in reruns. Long live the whammies, just avoid them at all costs!
