Banker's offer: $265,000!



















DEAL!

Tracee, the college basketball coach has just slam dunked her way to a huge total! $265,000 is a fantastic sum of money and Tracee cries tears of joy at the result! Now, lets be happier if The Banker cries tears of sorrow at being beaten in the Proveout!

Proveout: Round One:

















9: $500,000!!!!

Banker's offer: $231,000!
Dealt at: $265,000!

Proveout Round Two:

















14: $50

Banker's offer: $361,000!
Dealt at: $265,000!

Proveout Round Three:




















26: $300

Tracee would of had a final two of $10,000 or $1,000,000!

Banker's offer: $500,000!
Dealt at: $265,000!

Sadly, it's clear that Tracee didn't make the best deal and could have thrown away the chance at becoming DoND's first millionaire! If there is just $10,000 in Case 12 then she can still feel good that she sold a case for far more than it was worth. The time to find out is now.

Howie Mandel opens Case 12 and Tracee sold a case that worth...








































12: $1,000,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT'S HAPPENED AGAIN!!!!!! TRACEE WOULD HAVE BECOME THE FIRST MILLIONAIRE ON THE AMERICAN VERSION OF "DEAL OR NO DEAL"!!!!!!!!! Tracee Jones has joined LaKisa Bright and Tami Fuller as the third person to sell off the top prize in regular play! As you can imagine, Tracee is distraught and disappointed at the loss of the million, but she still gets to take home a huge sum of cash and deep down, you can tell she's still very pleased with her result!

Plus, above all, his wife is eight months pregnant! (And she's there with him too!)

Little did Kevin know when he walked into the studio, that he would do more than just watch DoND, he'd get to play it and walk with real cash. $28,000 is a nice reward for getting that opportunity. He just never had the luck with him. Plus, he's going to become a father in just a couple weeks and that's a bigger reward!

Time is running short to do a Proveout. Case 5 held...

5: $10!

And there you have it!

some great games there!

Very interesting touch there with Kevin, rushing him into the game like that. He must wish he'd had his turn all over again after that disastrous run of luck but he took a very nice sum away.

As for Traci... hard to complain about 'only' winning $265,000 (I'd have gone there too).

This marks the 3rd (or is it 4th?) time that someone brought the million-dollar case to the dollar table, and it always gets sold for about a quarter of that amount. And that Kevin guy never really had Lady Luck on his side, but he ended up beating the banker anyway. Once again, I was right about one thing: most of the single-digit cases often have low amounts in them. Kevin's No. 5 sure did ($10). Tune in next week when someone sells the million-dollar case for $25,000, or 40x less than $1,000,000. At this rate, we may never have a million-dollar winner. Sigh...

I'm going to see some shows live of Deal Or No Deal UK next week as an audience member, I'd be happy for similar to happen to me!
