/Yes, it's a technicality, but it counts in my book.

By the same logic, you could also include Reel-To-Reel.

I see--he was attempting to be funny.

Narz Concentration too, but he did go on to win Double Play.

This is veering from the original poster's question, but there was a contestant on TPIR that won by DOING nothing. (Well, sort of.) This contestant won his one bid, then played 10 Chances, but someone didn't load the board right, and all three prices for all three prizes were exposed when Bob removed the prize cards. So, for the only time in the show's history, the contestant won all three prizes without having to write anything. (I want to say I saw one playing with ONE price accidentally exposed, but I can't swear to it.) During the Showcase Showdown, he was the third to spin, and the other two went over, so he got into the showcase automatically (with Bob quick to point out he got this far doing NOTHING) I believe he also won his showcase.

He did not win the showcase. He was last to bid on a one-bid and bid a dollar higher than the highest bid. In the showcase, he overbid.
The full episode for your viewing pleasure (sorry about the bad tracking at the top...damn Magnavox VHS):

Why wouldn't they have been smart enough to do a stopdown after the first reveal to make sure that this didn't end up this way? Clearly, Bob suspected it was going to happen...it was even more ridiculous that they didn't intervene and do a stopdown after the second reveal...
Wasn't even remotely entertaining to watch...yay...clean-cut goofy-grin Joe College gets a bunch of loot for standing there...how fun...
