"Double Cross" is a mess. Eliminate it.

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.

Jeremy and I were just chatting about this, except replace ATM receipt with a custom TPiR "debit" card. Maybe even print the contestant's name on the card after the show.
The more I think about it, the more I really love the idea of a giant receipt tho.

Considering it hasn't been "won" once in 40+ years, it's like saying a team should get ten points for 70 yard field goal. That said, I'd just overhaul the game altogether.
Turn Plinko into a one chip game. Every small prize guessed correctly increases your multiplier by one. Overhaul the board to remove the zeroes to guarantee that the contestant will win something (they could even be $100 slots) and let that one chip fly.

I disagree--it's fine for what it is as a quick, easy-to-understand time-filler.
What I would change about it, though, is adding a "neutral" space for the indicators to rest in at the start of the game instead of on one of the answers. Something about the possibility of winning by doing nothing just never sits well with me in any circumstance.
