S _ E L L I N G /_ E E

Jackpot Round - EVENT (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Jennifer immediately hits the MDW's left-side BANKRUPT, and keeps her FS for the moment. Secondly, Matt gets the exact same fate as her. After that, Tiffany lands on the good part of the MDW and picks it up w/ two T's. She later gets the Wild Card w/ four N's. Next is $500 Jackpot N (she can't make the solve for a $6,400 pot) and two G's for the Marie Calendar's gift tag. Soon enough, this is what's showing...
