The non-winners kept the cash on Home SHopping Game, Newlywed 1988 and Perfect Match for sure. I don't think that was the case on Triple Threat or BtB85, and not really seen much of Pop N Rocker.

Didn't a contestant have to trace the outline of the picture to win the money. Since a person who did that won the game and supposedly the random money amount chosen beforehand, the loser would have won nothing.

This may be a bit off topic but when I told my aide about NYSI '89 and that like Win Ben Stein's Money, only the winner in the Championship Round keeps the money, she asked me: "Does Chuck get to keep the loser's money?"
