Excellent! We now know the offer would of NEVER got back up to $104,000 even if LaTosha played to the end and kept the biggest amount still in play to the final two!
But did she still have the last remaining amount bigger than the deal she took? Howie Mandel, our Canadian-born host of the American version of "Deal or No Deal", ends the Proveout and opens Case 20, which had...

A new record has been set on DoND USA! The earliest deal taken ever! Ron decides not to push his luck anymore and take the fourth offer in the game. Looking at the board, it's understandable the reasons why.
There is still some time left in the show, so Howie allows a Proveout to see if Ron pulled out at just the right time. This is the first ever two-case Proveout round!
Proveout Round One: Two Cases:
24: $10,000
17: $1,000,000!!!
BRILLIANT! FOR THE SECOND TIME IN A ROW, THE BANKER HAS LOST THE GAME AND THE BIGGEST POSSIBLE OFFER WAS TAKEN! This makes Ron feel much better and is incredibly happy!
Obviously, we proven Ron has played it perfectly and so all we need to do now is find out what was in Ron's case, 3.
Howie Mandel, the 50-year-old host of this smash hit on NBC, opens Case 3 and we all see that it had just...
3: $400!
To prove it:
5: $100,000
6: $25
8: $5,000
13: $25,000
19: $75,000
Game Summary:
Peak offer: $131,000
Case value: $400
Prize won: $131,000
Result: Outright Player Win!
And there you have it on this incredible episode in which TWO contestants beat the Banker conclusively! A very rare treat!
