  • Michael Larson, född 10 maj 1949, död 16 februari 1999, var en amerikansk gameshow-deltagare som orsakade stora rubriker 1984 i USA efter att ha vunnit rekordsumman 110 237 dollar i CBS . Han gjorde detta genom att studera och memorera brädets beteende. Han memorerade ramens beteende och det faktum att vissa rutor aldrig innehöll whammys (det som fråntar personen allt denne vunnit hittills) och vissa dessutom alltid innehöll extra pengar eller till och med en extra spin, som gjorde att han kunde spela på brädet hur länge han ville. Han körde vid ett tillfälle 40 gånger i rad på brädet innan han passade vidare sina extra spins till en motståndare efter att ha passerat 100,000 dollar vilket var Michaels mål. Michaels långa spelrunda gjorde att CBS tvingades dela upp hans medverkan i två avsn (sv)
