Win the game and still win nothing?

I may sound crazy, but the experience has to count for something too.
Matt Ottinger:
It's not nothing, but it's always amused me that a player could win Jeopardy! with less than $1000, then come in third on their second appearance, and win less in total than somebody who came in second. I think it's actually happened a few times.

Nobody mentioned this, but the first 2 seasons of Stump the Schwab fits into this category, as well as the Joker's Wild when it originally had the Joker's Jackpot, now for Nick Arcade, I believe the team still picked up some money for each individual item they pick up even if they don't get past the first level in the end game. I'm also thinking about Get the Picture Season 2, when the opening toss-up picture and the nametags were added but also switched to points in the main game, this can also fit into this category as well.

Oh sure - I mean I think all of us would love just being there playing the game It's just that very few games rewarded a contestant with nothing for winning the main game, and then give the possibility of a wipeout in the bonus round.

Both Hollywood Showdown and The Rich List awarded nothing for winning the main game and had a ladder where if the contestant(s) fell off there was no safety net.
