Tonight's Gift Tag: AmazingClubs.com

Eggland's Best Jackpot R: TV Quote

Coming out of her chute first is S for sorry while on the gift tag. Secondly, Seth calls two N's (one at the end of each of the first two lines out of four), buys three E's & claims the same gift card w/ a $500 T, then he has called three H's for another 12 pictures of Benjamins, bought two I's, caught half a dozen L's for an additional $3,300, four O's, the $550 D (completing the second-to-last word of HOLD; the word before that's I'LL & the word after it's THE), a pair of A's & a $1,200 C couple. Here's the solution as we see it...

Mystery R: Before & After

On the spot, he Bankrupts next to top dollar. Second, Collie's called three T's for 15 bills & that 1/2 CAR next to $900, bought three E's (one at the end; that last word starts w/ T) but then A for awful (the sole bad vowel of the puzzle). Third, Misty FPs dos I's, lights a $900 H, purchases the rest of the vowel shop's contents (three O's & a U singleton) & spins up the other regular Bankrupt to lose 400 bucks. Returning to Seth, he FPs a N, G & F good for $500 each, but following his three FP landings in a row is the same Bankrupt Misty got. After Collie calls a $7K S pair...

Second, Misty correctly calls an M to pick up & turn over that MDW, but she then loses her turn by saying L. Third, Seth has a $1,400 F couplet & buys the other two trios of vowels (I's & O's)...
