I was gonna say Temptation because the possibility existed for someone to win with no prizes being won, but I think that would be a different set of circumstances, no? Considering you'd have to come back and play again to even have a chance to do that?

I recall at least one carryover winner on nighttime Sale that lost their next game and basically won their cash account but nothing in Fame Game or gift shop. Temptation didn't even have cash for right answers and only three chances to pick up loot during the game.
