What does Michael Larson mean?

Michael Larson
Paul Michael Larson (May 10, 1949 – February 16, 1999) was an American television game show contestant who appeared on the CBS program Press Your Luck in 1984. Larson is notable for winning US$110,237 (equivalent to $275,000 in 2020) in cash and prizes, at the time the largest one-day total ever won on a game show. He was able to win by memorizing the patterns used on the Press Your Luck game board. Originally from southwestern Ohio, Larson used his cash winnings for taxes and real estate investments. As a result, he lost all of his winnings within two years of the show's taping and moved to Florida, where he later died of throat cancer at the age of 49. Since his death in 1999, Larson's game has re-aired on television at various times and inspired two Game Show Network documentaries: Big Bucks: The Press Your Luck Scandal in 2003 and Cover Story: The Press Your Luck Scandal in 2018.
