Hello everyone, I have a question on the original run of Scrabble.

When did the Bonus Sprint premiere? Also, what was the highest the Bonus Sprint has ever reached?

Thanks for your help!

The Bonus Sprint premiered on 12/29/86, and the highest I can recall it hitting was $18K(started at $5K and increased $1K a day until won).

I recall a $20,500 Bonus Sprint in the short lived 1993 revival. That version started the Bonus Sprint jackpot at $1000, and the jackpot increased by $500 if a player guessed a word in the maingame upon hitting a blue square, and by $1000 for landing on a pink square and then guessing the word.
