Speaking of a perfect playing this is what I've come up with............In Money Game, if the contestant picks the car numbers first and wins it, they get the total of the money from the cards they didn't pick.

But these days that's not much of a bonus--the max possible would be $672. It's not my money, but how about the two highest-remaining pairs as a four-digit amount? Max possible $9998, that'd really feel like something.

I'd take $672, just sayin

Another one I was thinking of that's not likely to be won anytime soon - "Perfect" Plinko game, all the chips landing in the top spot, and your money is doubled.

It confused people going back to the 80s, and I don't imagine much has changed. But...I like the concept of the game, and the idea of the contestant having to more or less work in reverse to figure out the price. Maybe call it Cash Advance or Do the Math or something and just have them flat out state how much they want? Give them a snazzy touchscreen to punch in the numbers.

Somewhere, I mentioned going from a check-based game to a debit card-based game. You go to an ATM and can withdraw as much money as you want. If the amount of the withdrawal plus the price of the prize is within a range, winner. And in lieu of a giant oversized voided check, you get a giant ATM receipt.
