Sale of the Century: Difference between revisions

** During the "Winner's Board" era of the NBC/syndicated version, any contestant playing for $50,000 and lost forfeited the car and other Winners Board prizes won; however, they were able to keep anything won in the front game (accumlated cash score, Fame Game and Instant Bargains, Instant Cash winnings and any other cash bonuses). No contestant who ever went for the top prize lost, although one contestant (future game show host [[Mark De Carlo]]) won his $50,000 and preserved his endgame winnings only after an opponent answered her last question incorrectly.

** The Australian version famously gave all contestants the show's pin and board game:

* [[Game Show Winnings Cap]]: Averted by the 1980s version, as it had the possibility to give out jackpots in excess of $100,000.

* [[Golden Snitch]]: Early in the '80s run, the last Fame Game of the day was followed by only three more questions. This gave the last Fame Game the potential to put the game out of reach if the someone who trailed by less than $10 got the Fame Game right and found the $25 money card.
