Lori is about to see the $100,000 question.
There's a difference of opinion between Lori's brother and husband about how to play the game. Lori's brother asked her "you're not going to go big or go home, are you?" That's how Lori's husband plays poker, so this is Lori's chance to do that.
Lori has $43,100 in her bank. All of her lifelines are gone.

A: 5 degrees B: 20 degrees
C: 35 degrees D: 50 degrees
Lori's from a small town in Pennsylvania, so she has skipped a few stones. Lori steps back from the Hot Podium and goes through the motions of skipping a stone at various angles, before making her choice. The audience starts applauding even before she says "final answer."
Meredith stops them: Guys! You can't do that! Please! I'm sorry--for them doing that. That was wrong. But you are right!
$250,000
