Race to a Billion Deluxe (Round 4, Grid A)

[JerryArr]

TK is going to call failsafe... if it's a bomb behind 37, we have two winners, otherwise it's just vincentw! Either way, the round is over. What is behind 37?

Round	3	Turbo Zone	Failsafe Active!	Grid A

It's a bomb, and it's a two winner grid! We've got a lot to reckon here... Base win bonus is $500,000, plus a million for the clear board bonus. vincentw gets it multiplied by 4, then boosted at 443%... that's $26,580,000!

TK picks up that 1.5 mil times 9, meaning he gets $13,500,000!

We've got a bunch of minigames and a score changer to go... vincentw will start with Double Trouble, then TK with Pick 6, and Triple Threat, Jackpot Chance, as well as MatchUp! These things will start in 24-48-ish hours.

We've had this last round, vincentw, but let's say it again. You start with a grand, but that number can increase in a hurry! Ten doubles, each doubles your bank. 5 $2,000 spaces, each increases your bank by $2,000. 2 $5,000's, a $10,000, a Mystery, which can be from $1 to $20,000... and a bomb. Hit the bomb and the round ends for you. You may bail out after any pick.

vincentw, you may pick one or more spaces, but must do so by March 1 at 12:15 AM Eastern, or in (expired on 2019-03-01 23:15:00)

[vincentw]

Let's start with 5 spaces and see where it goes.
15, 8, 19, 1, 6.

[JerryArr]

Okay... looking at 15, 8, 19, 1, and 6, hopefully we go through all five. Let's start with 15!

Bank:	$3,000	Double	Trouble	RTaB
$2,000	8	19	1	6

Good start, $2,000. Let's see number 8 now!

Bank:	$6,000	Double	Trouble	RTaB
$2,000	Double	19	1	6

Real good, a double! Up to $6,000, now to 19...

Bank:	$8,000	Double	Trouble	RTaB
$2,000	Double	$2,000	1	6

Another couple grand! Let's see #1 now!

Bank:	$18,000	Double	Trouble	RTaB
$2,000	Double	$2,000	$10,000	6

Ten thousand now! Up to $18,000, and we'll look at 6.

Bank:	$36,000	Double	Trouble	RTaB
$2,000	Double	$2,000	$10,000	Double

Good start! $36,000 for you so far... pick as many more spaces as you'd like or leave with $36,000!

vincentw, your decision is due by March 4 at 1:00 AM Eastern, or in (expired on 2019-03-04 00:00:00)

[vincentw]

I think I can do better than 36k!
Let's go with 5 more: 17, 9, 11, 2, 20.

[JerryArr]

The next five: 17, 9, 11, 2, and 20. Let's start with 17!

Bank:	$72,000	Double	Trouble	RTaB
Double	9	1	2	20

Real good, up to $72,000... now, it's 9!

Bank:	$00	Double	Trouble	RTaB
Double	BOMB!	1	2	20

Oh no... it's a bomb! That's the end of the round, so no additional money for you.

We'll be back with TK's first minigame round, Pick 6, next.

Alrighty TK, you're up for Pick 6. It's simple. Pick six of the twenty spaces, and, from right to left order, the numbers will fall into place and spell out your score for the round! Good luck!

TK's space picks are due by March 7 at 10:00 PM Eastern, or in (expired on 2019-03-07 21:00:00)

[Tatsuya Kaname]

17, 12, 6, 15, 4, and 2.

(So, my score from right to left will be what's in 2/4/15/6/12/17 am I right?)

You're right, yes. Let's see about 17!

Okay, TK... here are three grid columns for you. As you can see, we've already revealed one letter in each column. There are the letters A-F, five of them appear in each column, and one does not, that's the decoy. It doesn't do anything except take up time. The letter T appears in all three columns, which is good! The bomb appears in one column. Don't hit the bomb or you lose all the money you have in this minigame. You start with $330,000 and every time you pick a letter, that is decreased by $30,000... but if you get a triple, we'll make that bank triple instead! AND, if you hit a triple T, the bank is tripled AGAIN, for a total of 9 times! Good luck, pick one or more spaces.

Your picks are due by March 13 at 2:45 Central, or in (expired on 2019-03-13 14:45:00)

[Tatsuya Kaname]

Okay, TK, it's Jackpot Chance time! First, the Jackpot. It went all the way up to $60,293,626... but we're going to double that using the Jackpot Doubler, which means it's now at a massive $120,587,252! To claim it, all you need to do is pick all the letters in JACKPOT! There are two each of the letters J, A, C, K, P, O, and T. There are also a couple of $100,000 spaces, yours to keep if you find them. And there are four strikes, get three of them before spelling JACKPOT and the round is over.

Best of luck, TK. Your picks are due April 15 at 5:30 AM Central, or in (expired on 2019-04-15 05:30:00).
