A £5k win would become one of £10k/£35k/£5k/£2.5k/zip. That £35k has a 1/3 chance of becoming £70k, so I think it should be treated at a face value of more like £45k. If you gave me a 0/£2.5k/£5k/£10k/£45k 5-box and no 2-box offer guaranteed, I'd want £10k to be sure, maybe a bit less. So my "£5k" is really a £9k box.

If I win £40k, then that's got a 1/3 chance of becoming £80k, so its "real" value is at least £50k.

Would I take £20k on a £10k/£50k finish? No, no I would not. Would I put £20k on that 23? £40k/£50k/£20k/£10k/zip, bump up those top two to make it effectively £50k/£60k/£20k/£10k/zip... that configuration might be worth more than £20k, but it's worth less than a £10k/£50k finish. NO DEAL!

Swap if offered... here we go!

This really has been a fascinating game, one where we've had a proper battle.. Who has won it, though? If we see £40,000 in Box 17, you've spanked him. If it's the £5,000, we're going to need a lot of luck from Box 23..

Here we go then! Opening KP's SWAPPED FOR Box 17.

Box 17-

£5,000

You were sitting with £40,000 throughout this game..


Box 4-

£40,000

And there it was.


Box 23;

I don't think we wanted to be in a scenario where we felt as though we had to buy Box 23, but I think that's where we are at. Let's take a look at your #MoneyMenu..

DOUBLE = £10,000
BOX 23 JACKPOT (£30,000) = £35,000 & BB
MONEY BACK = £5,000
HALF = £2,500
NOTHING

The JACKPOT is the only option which would take you into Bonus Box territory.

So, with £5,000, would you like to buy Box 23, Deal or No Deal?

**JACKPOT KLAXON**

AMAZING! You've won JUST ENOUGH to take you to the Bonus Box where your winnings could still go up to £70,000! What a game!

We have been all over the place in this game, but this really is the last box to be opened!

DOUBLE = £70,000
MONEY BACK = £35,000
MONEY BACK = £35,000

A one in three chance of winning £70,000... Which option would you like, 1 , 2 or 3?

YES YOU HAVE!

You managed to find the DOUBLE within the Bonus Box and you leave with £70,000!

What a stupendous game, so much better than last nights ;)

We're back VERY soon, don't go anywhere for another deal!

Well, that worked out in the end. And made all the more satisfying for it taking that long to work out, in a way. :P

At least the Banker enjoyed spending the money he saved last night!
