A little gambling game here, where you have a few basic options to try and sort out how to get the most reward out of your luck.

For starters, you start with $1000, which is yours to keep -- if you walk away right at this moment!

OR....

You can gamble on it, with 50/50 odds on whether you increase your pot, or not -- up to a maximum of $100000!

To add a strategy element to this little game, you can LOCK in your winnings, up to 3 times!   But the problem here is that once you bet and lose, that lock disappears, meaning you'll have to use another lock again if you want to keep your winnings safe -- and you only have a total of 3 locks in the game.

You can play as long as you have locks left, and money to bet.  Each time you bet and lose, you lose one of your locks, so you're only allowed a few failures in each game!

Now the question is:  How much money can you win?  How good is your luck, courage, and strategy??

(For the record, I suck at this type thing.  My highest winning so far has been $16,000 -- I can't even get down to the second line with my luck!  And most times, I end up winning $0.)  Big Grin
