Big Money! No Whammies! Used to be on everyday after school for me, right before Saved By The Bell on TBS Superstation.

yep, this is the one guy who won big on that show, didn't cheat per say, just knew the patterns

[mmike032]

loved it, well actually I was a kid and just liked to see someone get whammied

[daggerkobe]

Old news.

[pico]

i read about this. he got too tired at the end

[THEGREAT30]

I think they had that story on 60 minutes or something a couple of years ago.

[pico]

but he lost most of the money....so just like other lotto winners

[RogueScholar]

Those little cartoons they had for when someone got Whammied were what kept the show on so long. Especially as a kid, they never got old.

the guy screwed. he only end up with 25k. that is like you won a 18 team parlay at pinnacle for 100 million and told the max daily payout is only 250k
