Although the 50,000 hurt, there's now only a 1 in 4 chance of hitting a red. I think I'm going to Press my Luck once more.

So, you've got 3,000NP guarenteed. However, if you want to carry on to see what would hav ehappened, feel free.
Post a list of three boxes to see what would happen, then what box you would have claimed as your own to see what happens
Also, provide me a link to a trade to get your prize (wither PM or post)

3000 is pretty good, and it was fun playing.
If I had gone all the way, I would have picked box 9.

Box 9 contained 10NP.
The 35000NP was in box 14 (Which is incidentally what another Matt won on the real life one today - £35k)
If the game tomorrow has a similar result, I think I might have to keep it up after my holdiay.
