Win the game and still win nothing?

Card Sharks from 2019, too. The $10,000 each contestant receives for winning the main game is what they're betting in the Money Cards.
I know I've seen at least one game of Classic Concentration where a contestant had no prizes when time was called, solved the rebus, and then failed to win a car. But I can't remember if they won anything in a previous/subsequent game.
And since the subject is games where you can *theoretically* win and still receive nothing...
- Any version of Family Feud where the main game is played for points. But I can't imagine anybody's ever been completely shut out in Fast Money.
- The second season of Liza Koshy–hosted Double Dare is played for points in the main game. I would hope that there aren't any episodes where the team fails to complete the first obstacle.

Regarding Double Dare, it would have to be an obstacle like "Nightmare" where you have to find the flag in a pile of something for a team to bomb out with the first obstacle. I think the crew learned something from that first episode and made the first obstacle a sort of "gimme". The current version made Sundae Slide significantly easier by not having a ramp with gunk to climb up.

Doug Davidson's Price Is Right had it happen a couple of times where a contestant got nothing in their Pricing Game, won the Showcase Showdown, and lost the Showcase round.

Croton watch and the "honor of being our champion."

They got $700 as a consolation prize.

Ah, I forgot about this. Thank you. :)

For the occasions when the klunk didn't end up being a nice chunk of money, I'd count it.

If I'm remembering correctly, you didn't get anything for winning the game on Nick Arcade. I'm pretty sure I saw teams fail to make it past round 1 in the bonus--depending how badly they did, it could mean bupkus.
