Whoops, didn't realize this was posted back in July. Nice find, though.

If anything, I found out I suck at this game. I had a $250 suitcase, but took a deal for $193.

That was fun! I had the $250 case, got it all down to the $250, $7500 and $75000 cases and took a $26204 offer. Yay.

Whoa! I won the $200,000 on the first try!

$200,000 won't buy me Pat O'Brien's love, so why bother?

Maybe not, but it CAN buy you a Bed Bath and Beyond store. And you can make your own hours!

What you do with a towel, a bottle of moisturizer, and Hustler magazine is your business.

Clearly, I'm missing something about the appeal of this game. I played it a couple of times and couldn't have found it less engaging.

Watching and rooting vicariously with real money on the line will almost certainly be different, but the random act of picking a number between one and twenty-six really isn't doing it for me.

Thank you. FINALLY a voice of some reason.

This game is ONLY interesting (and even then, as a game, it still sucks, but it might be compelling television) with real cash money involved. It is UTTERLY dull when being played "for funsies".

This just in: "YEAH! I "WON" $200,000!!!" only means you are the 1 in 26 who got assigned The Big One when you made your selection. That's IT.

My, a bit curmudgeonly today, aren't we? ;-)

Seriously, points all well taken. For me, the game was good for a giggle or two. Although (and it happened just now while checking to make sure this was the same site), picking 26 netted me the cyber $200K. And, just a tip, it's not the first time that's happened.

And thanks for using the word "funsies"--I haven't heard that term in ages. :)

Doug -- shall we begin the countdown to 1700?

That was my feel on it. There was no point in playing again when I won the $200k in my 3rd game. When it comes to the real game itself, though, with real money on the line, you can't deny that it could take a toll on your nerves...

Seriously; did it thrill you that much that you clicked a square and "won" $200,000, to the point that you won't ever play it again?
