Welcome to Deal or No Deal, the dream machine, the big cash vault, ‘cause tonight, someone can win big! Let’s have our player...
Contestant:
Tammara Haines!
Tammara is 41 from East Glastonbury, Connecticut. She is a primary school teacher, and she has her class in the audience! Husband Hank and Sisters Jessica and Frieda are sat in the audience for the game. Tammara can walk from here tonight with $1,300,000! The amounts go down to a penny.
Tammara, pick a case.
Chosen case:
5!
6: $1,300,000!!! It’s gone already in the first case!
11: $50
20: $500
4: $400
9: $200
12: $300 phew… great recovery there.
Bankers offer:
$26,000
NO DEAL!
13: $100 and this board is starting to look very strange, even weirder if we hit the $75…
18: $750,000!!
19: $75… Erm… this is strange
7: $200,000
15: $1
Bankers offer:

22: $1,000
8: $10
3: $50,000
1: $25 what a huge gap!
Bankers offer:
$48,000
NO DEAL!
16: $75,000
24: $.01!! Yes!! Only 2 lefties left.
23: $100,000
Bankers offer:
$119,000!
NO DEAL!
The combination of the 300, 400 and 500 is amazing, maintain it through this round and you have a 50/50 chance of taking one of the three, home…
26: $25,000! Yes that’s one… can it be 2?
21: $750!!! We did it!!!
Bankers offer:
$176,000!!
NO DEAL!!!
Okay Tammara, keep the 3 and you’ll get an exceptional offer; a dream scenario
25: $400,000! Not exactly what we wanted…
Bankers offer:
$146,000!
Tammara says that she has the $500,000 and wants to play it until the end…
NO DEAL!!
Last time we didn’t do it, we must succeed here to get a higher offer.
14… open 14…
14:
$500,000! No…
Bankers offer:
$70,000
NO DEAL!
2: $300,000… It’s gone…
Bankers offer:
$5,400
Tammara says she’s going to play it until the end now
NO DEAL!
Can we get her $10,000?
10: $10,000… This is terrible luck
Bankers offer:
$2,700
NO DEAL!
She is offered the swap and she turns it down.
Can she win $5,000 or is it just $5?
To prove it:
17: $5,000
Well… Tammara gets only $5, but here is a chance to redeem herself in Higher or Lower! Here we have 16 cases, and these are the amounts that can be accumulated:
$1
$5
$10
$50
$100
$250
$500
$750
$1,000
$2,000
$3,000
$5,000
$10,000
$15,000
$25,000
$35,000
Tammara will pick 2 cases at a time, and the first case will be revealed. She will then say whether she thinks the next one is higher or lower. A correct answer means we add $5,000 to her total. An incorrect answer means that we remove $5,000 from her score. If she ends up with a minus score, Tamara will leave with nothing. Here goes, good luck Tammara!
She begins by picking 16 and 14.
16: $750
Tammara says the next case will be higher.
14: $500 gah!
Total: -$4,995.
She picks 12 and 11 next.
12: $5,000
Tammara begs for the next case to be lower.
11: $5! Yes, we’re back up.
Total: $5

The next combination is 9 and 5.
9: $250
Tammara says “the next one must be higher… surely?”
5: $100! Nope…
10 and 8…
10: $3,000
“It’s almost right in the middle… It’s higher!”
8: $25,000! Going against the odds got her back to $1
$1
$10
$50
$1,000
$2,000
$10,000
$15,000
$35,000
Tammara picks 7 and 6, “and I will get up to $5,000!”
*applauses*
7: $2,000
For $5,005… it’s lower.
6: $15,000! No!
“13 and 3… that should do me…”
13: $50
Tammara crosses her fingers and hopes for Higher. If it’s lower, she leaves with nothing.
3: $10!!
Tammara is in tears now, but Hank and her Sisters comfort her.
Let’s take a look in the other cases…
1: $1
2: $1,000
4: $10,000
15: $35,000
That ends tonight’s episode, and Tammara leaves with nothing. A big disappointment, but luck just dropped off her from the latter stages of the game. See you later, goodbye.
