Unheard of. Never has this ever happened before. History was made this evening.

Most times, the prize for winning the bonus round is $25,000. Once in every 50 games or so, I might get a $45,000 bonus round prize. And once every 200 games, the bonus will be $100,000.

After 3 rounds I had the most measly of all scores, $10,000. Assuming I'd win a $25,000 bonus I was not even putting much of an effort in...

In an effort to get the game over, my 3 consanants and vowel were: ABCD

BEAC_ BALL

I had 20 seconds to add the H.

And then the band started playing:




Drew is always around to celebrate with me, but not tonight. He's at his dad's. So that's why, you, my gentle blog reading friend, got the blow by blow of the most exciting thing to happen to me this evening.
