In 1984, a game-show contestant went down in TV history as the "luckiest man in America." Michael Larson appeared on the hit game show "Press Your Luck." In the game, if the light comes to a stop on the dreaded whammy square, they lose all their winnings. However, Larson kept winning. Turns out, it wasn't just luck after all. He kept watching old episodes and figured out the pattern of the flashing lights. Larson ended up winning a whopping $110,237 in cash and prizes.
