This unemployed ice cream truck driver memorized a game show’s secret pattern and won $110,000 in one day
Michael Larson from Ohio recorded episodes of the CBS show Press Your Luck on his VCR and played them back frame by frame for weeks
The board everyone thought was random was actually just 5 repeating patterns
Two specific squares never landed on a Whammy and always hit the highest dollar values
He spent his last savings on a bus ticket to Los Angeles, auditioned, and got on the show
He then went 45 consecutive spins without hitting a single Whammy
CBS executives watched from the control room in horror as his winnings kept climbing past anything they’d ever seen
They accused him of cheating and reviewed the footage for weeks
He hadn’t broken a single rule
They mailed him a check
The episode was so embarrassing CBS banned it from airing
It didn’t air for 19 years
An ice cream man from Ohio figured out what CBS couldn’t

Giddey has been one of the better all-around point guards in Chicago’s offense all season and has been elite over his recent stretch of games. He’s cleared this line in 30 of 50 games this season and has gone over in five straight road games.
On The Season Giddey Is Averaging.
-8.32 Rebounds Per Game
-13.1 Rebound Chances Per Game
-9.16 Assists Per Game
-16.9 Potential Assists Per Game
-32.1 Minutes Per Game
Giddey and the Chicago Bulls head to Oklahoma City tonight to face the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder are allowing the 13th most rebounds and 29th most assists per game to opposing point guards this season, though as of late their assists defense has not been as lockdown as those numbers suggest.
Last 5 PG's Vs The Thunder.
-Payton Pritchard 3 Reb+Ast
-Cameron Payne 8 Reb+Ast
-Bub Carrington 6 Reb+Ast
-Nolan Traore 9 Reb+Ast
-Jalen Suggs 13 Reb+Ast
Giddey faced OKC once this season and posted 18 RA, logging 9 rebounds and 9 assists on 15 rebound chances and 18 potential assists.
Over his last 10 games Giddey has been locked in, hitting this line in 9 of 10, while averaging 21.1 RA per game. He's logging 35.8 minutes per game over that stretch on 21.9 potential assists and 14.1 rebound chances.
