Punch-a-Bunch: >$10K win occurring between 2002 & 2007
« on: March 08, 2023, 06:09:46 PM »
Sometime between 2002 and 2007, I recall a playing of Punch-a-Bunch in which the contestant walked away with more than $10,000. I believe this was achieved by said contestant getting the $500 + Second Chance on the fourth punch, followed by the $250 + Second Chance, and then the $10,000 slip. I believe Bob mistakenly stated something along the lines of "you're the first contestant in the history of this game...to win MORE than $10,000!" (clang-clang-clang-whoop-whoop-whoop).

Does anyone remember at least the season during which this occurred? I am quite certain I have this episode (or at least this particular playing of the game) saved somewhere in my sea of VHS & DVD recordings, and I'm trying to find it - so having the season number at minimum would be very helpful.

Is it this by any chance? (17:11 is timecode if it doesn't work)

Thanks so much for sharing! I definitely thought that it was a $10,750 win (again achieved by getting two Second Chance slips in succession), but perhaps I was wrong. Regardless, this is so much fun to watch (other than being reminded of the Hollywood turntable  :oldlol:)
