Ryan Zwolinski And at over $130,000 (I don't know what the exact total was), he was one of the biggest winners in the show's history. In fact, his run came just before Thom McKee's unfathomable run, which netted him $312,400. Usually, if someone's such a big winner on a game show, he wouldn't be allowed on another game show, but having such a big winner on a popular game show early on in the run of "Press Your Luck" (as noted by the upload title, this was just the 25th episode), gave it a higher profile, so they were probably happy to have such a high profile contestant on their show early on.
You may know Mark Leinwand as 1 of the biggest winners on Tic Tac Dough with $127,600, and he topped that off by winning the Tic Tac Dough Tournament Of All-Time Champions, and won $50,000 for The Fund For Animals.
The Whammy's "I thought I had the right stuff" was a nice little homage to the film "The Right Stuff", which was released the same day this episode first aired.
Am I the only one that noticed it when this lady said it’s a girls, best friend, but it came out more along the lines of, it’s a girls breast friend lol
Mark was also a contestant on "Tic Tac Dough" and "Jeopardy!".

awesome Golden Girls cross-over episode
John's game-ending (but not winning) Stereo would be $1550, if we go by the next time it was hit in Round 2. (Arlene, from Episode 46.)
Is Mark the 1st player to pass his spins in R1 with 2 whammies?
