Press Your Luck, starring Bill Murray as Michael Larsen, is based on a true story about an ice cream truck driver who memorizes the board patterns on the game show Press Your Luck, and manages to win $110,000 over two days. Big bucks! No whammies! Bill Murray! (Thanks dollar short and Jerry Kindall.)
