Greg almost spun after the L call. Pat tries to remind him that he already won $60K+ this week.

Greg simply reads...and gets the bonus with Peace.

...and he gets one more prize in the form of the Acura Sedan! Well done, sir!
GREG'S 2-DAY FINAL TOTAL: $140,685 ($94,350, bikes, Jamaica and Acura)
Pat jokes that Greg will have his own self-help infomercial on the air.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: Really, this is basically "Greg Gets Lucky: Part 2". It's everything I loved about his first appearance and expands on it even further. It's definitely a 10/10 and probably stands among the top 5 episodes in the entire syndie run. I'll surely miss Greg spinning that wheel...
A grand total of $267,552 was given away this week.
