Page "Press Your Luck" Paragraph 25

During Press Your Lucks three-year run, the show had " Home Player Spins " for three months during sweeps periods, in May 14 – June 8, 1984, January 21 – February 15, 1985 and October 21 – November 22, 1985.

The spin number of the Home Player Spin was revealed before the final money round began ( i. e., if the number was " 5 ", then the fifth spin into the round would be the Home Player Spin ).

The contestant who was about to spin the board played the Home Player Spin and read the name of the home player who would play along ; names and addresses were on postcards situated in front of the contestants.

The at-home player would receive whatever the contestant landed on, be it money or prize.

However, if the contestant hit a money-and-a-spin space, the home player received the money and the contestant received the money and the spin.

If the contestant hit a Whammy, the home player received a $ 500 consolation prize.

The home players associated with the contestants who did not take the Home Player Spin received a Whammy t-shirt.
