...but he's wrong thinking the first part is MAP- or MAY-, and then he gives up. He won't be putting another $25,000 in his MAILBOX, but he leaves with $46,400, cash and prizes!
His car for the night is a Sedan. He also picks a $1,000 Horse Statue from the nation's capital (D.C., of course) as his prize.
What a nice job, J.P.! Keep that up!
Man, J.P. cleaned up tonight!
