They really need to change the rules of this one. I can't remember the last time someone won the car.
My suggestions are:
1. Let the contestant choose one free number to reveal. (They would have to change how the numbers are revealed--each would have its own "door")
OR
2. Change the name to Lucky 10 or Lucky 11 and give them that many dollars.
Different eyes see different things
Agreed. Way too hard

I agree. Probably one of my least favorite "car games".
shareThey won't change it because they have a good thing going, i.e., Lucky Seven is probably the easiest game for them to set up for a likely win or a likely loss, without breaking any actual laws. For a likely win, they can use midrange numbers in the price of the car, such as $25,654. For a likely loss, they can use high and/or low numbers, such as $29,191.
shareThis website has a "cheat sheet" that lists winning percentages from 100 game plays.
Lucky 7 is low compared to most, but at 22.6%, probably higher than you would think. I agree it's a VERY DIFFICULT game.
