This is the 1984 section of the Press Your Luck episode guide. There were even more exciting and zany moments compared to 1983. A new bonus square called Double Your $$ debuted in February (with a free spin added in April), as did a new directional square called Pick A Corner. The board would receive some new Whammy poses and a new sound in August. September would see the debut of another Bonus Square called $2000 or Lose 1 Whammy. The ratings would (not surprisingly) peak in June, when an unemployed ice cream truck driver from Lebanon, Ohio by the name of Michael Larson came on the show and memorized the board, winning over $110,000 in cash and prizes. His episode was split into two parts, and the board patterns were immediately updated so that something like this wouldn't happen again. Every nine months, the show would do a month-long Home Player Sweepstakes, where viewers at home could win cash or prizes whenever a designated spin came up. The first one was held in May.
