RACE TO A BILLION - REBIRTH - ROUND 28 [SIGNUPS WELCOME]

Let's see if we can. Is there $3.5 million in the Violet bank?



Excellent! More money! But was this a costly error?



You could have had an extra half million. Good stop!



We're coming towards the crucial selections now. You need an average of just above $2 million from each of your last three to win the money. Good luck.

---

I'll take 2 million from the Gold machine

---

Half the machines remaining are worth over $4.5m, so $2m feels like you're playing carefully. But can you be too careful? Is there $2m in Gold?


Yes! But how much more could you have had?



If you held out a little more, you could have gotten an extra $1.5m. Still, no major casualties yet.



Alright. Here's how it is. You need $2.5m from each of the last two machines to win big here. You could finish off this game in one go, but if you mess up this one, and you're going to have to gamble hard. Best of luck.

---

The Peru one... with a gamble. 5,5 million

---

...you only need $5,000,000 to win the jackpot. You don't win anything extra for going over it. Do you still want to go for 5.5?

---

Oh, I read it wrong. 5M it is then

---

For the win...SHOW ME $5,000,000 FOR PERU!


OH NO! How much was in there?



You were out by a fair lot there.



OK, you have one shot to win this. Three machines could do it for you, as the top three are still in play. All you need to do is pick one of the three. The odds of you winning are literally 50/50. Good luck.

---

Will the Lime one help me with the 5M? I hope so

---

So, the hopes of $12,500,000 rest on the lime coloured machine. Have you done it? Is there $5,000,000 in the machine.



NO! THE LAST MACHINE IS LOCKED!



You picked the one JUST half a million short. If you'd have picked Magenta, Maroon or Aquamarine, you'd have done it, but I'm afraid, the Colour of Money's vaults stay full for another day. Still, though, your amazing first round has still put you on an immense lead. How much? Let's see the leaderboard:



So, there's a sizeable 20 million strong gap between Nightmare and the rest of the field, but another round beckons. Next time, will Nightmare be able to build on their lead, whilst being chased by three brand new players? We'll find out on Round 2 of Race to a Billion! See you tomorrow!

---

Round 2 boysssss

---

That it is! For Round 2, we will require:

- Spirit of Nightmare
- aidan9030

PM me your bombs asap!

Let's reveal the board!







ROUND 2

Spirit of Nightmare: $27,437,500 (105% Boost)
aidan9030: $0
gameboy573: $0
SomethingRandom: $0

This board is both risky and rewarding. Incidentally, one of you got rid of what would have been a very interesting safety net. I'll let you ruminate on who that is and what it may have done.

So, Nightmare posted his bomb in first, and therefore, he gets to begin. Good luck!
