* ''[[The Price Is Right]]'' does this with the pricing game "Check Game". The prize and the amount of the check that the contestant fills in have to total between $5000 and $6000 to win. Win or lose, the player walks away with the check (but if the contestant fails, the check has '''{{color|red|VVOID}}''' stamped on it; both Barker and Carey have noted that voided checks often end up in the trash outside the CBS studio).
* Winners on ''[[The Gong Show]]'' would walk off with one of these.
