Question if the champion purchases a prize in the shopping era, do they keep the leftover money? Or is the champion gets defeated do they lose all the banked money?
In the Daytime version of the show, if the contestant chose to play on then the Jackpot would increase by another $1,000 each night until the champion gained enough points to take out all the prizes and the cash jackpot. (This could be done in the matter of, say, one or more episodes)
ya the daytime version 650 just bought the jackpot, 750 bought that and the stage. nighttime: 650 all the prizes 750 all+cash. Daytime it only happened once Barbara phillips during the non speedround era: $68,000 Cash Jackpot, $151,689 total
Does anybody know where we can find a video (not audio) clip of that victory?
Also, you got it all wrong. $760 is what someone needs to win everything in the daytime show. $640 is for all the prizes (jackpot not included) in the syndicated version, and $750 is for everything, including the jackpot in the syndicated version.
I heard Barbara Phillips in 1983 was the only person in the daytime shopping format to win everything on the stage including the cash jackpot of $68,000 giving her a total of over $151,000 in cash and prizes.
here's my take on this format of the rules. $650 should be for all the prizes on the lot minus the cash jackpot, $760 should be for everything cause more people would go for that. Cause if you notice when everything was the other way around people just stopped at the cash jackpot.
Yes here's hoping it's good...Family Feud's improved so hopefully Fremantle has most of its monkeying out of its system by now. I don't know much about the guy who they are going to have hosting, but let's hope he's not all looks and no talent.
Indeed...virtually all champs during the NBC shopping era who made it that far opted to quit w/the cash jackpot, since most weren't willing to risk that much money to add prizes which, more often that not, added up to less than the value of the CJ!
Not Barbara Phillips. She went all the way. Besides, I think the syndicated version did the right thing changing the shopping format a bit. Reducing the required amount a bit and making it so that the only way to win the cash jackpot is to win everything!
Barbara didn't go all the way. On the show before her lot win, she had $644, $6 short of winning the money. Her $120 in the final game carried her over the top (winning only on the last question even). Had she won with less than the $120, she might have quit with the $68,000.
Well, just so you know, I heard that the $760 rule wasn't around until the Speed Round was introduced, and thus $540 was needed to win just the jackpot, $650 for the entire lot at the time Barbara won the big one.
Marc is exactly right. During that time the shopping format was in place, and accumulating $650 would be worth the cash jackpot ($540 for the car and $760 for everything plus the jackpot). It later changed to a car at $530, every prize on the stage minus the jackpot at $640 and everything and the jackpot at $750. Then came the winner's board, and the winner's big money game in '88.
In David's multiple wins, he racked up enough score money to buy the cash jackpot. If he wanted to, he could have passed it up and try to win some more cash to buy everything on stage, plus the jackpot.
I've never seen that show in years, but I still remember "$ale of the Century" back when I was a kid. I missed watching that show when it was on NBC during the daytime. "$ale of the Century"was an excellent game show hosted by Jim Perry of "Card Sharks". If it's a good idea if I can write to GSN and complaining to bring "$ale of the Century" back. I do see "$ale of the Century" coming back to GSN anytime soon.
Two things here: Jim stated at the start of the speedround that the jackpot was $109. And 2, he was really a bit high-strung into the speedround during that time, shouting "that's right" on many occasions.
I agree, but who else wouldn't be high-strung, when a contestant is on the verge of winning over $100,000 in cash? (And that was a LOT back in the early 80s!)
Jim Perry always had a knack for understanding the magnitude of a situation like a speed round. He never held back on his emotions as a host, and always rooted for the contestants to succeed. He never tried to make himself a star (pat sajak), he made his contestants stars ( type in "card sharks norma" to understand ).
i think Jim Perry's head exploded at the end of the round.

Did you know that this was the biggest single-day all-cash prize anyone's ever won on a network daytime show?
Natalie Steele's $106,000 on Super Password is much too short.
Michael Larson's $104,950 on Press Your Luck is much too short.
John Hatten's $120,000 on Blockbusters was the only one that beat it (he only got it in 20 days). The McCarthys' $120,000 was just split evenly.
Leland Yung's $122,000 on Password Plus and Blockbusters was only won in separate days and separate game shows.

@TVLubber true, but with "pay the rent" on the price is right now, someone could break david's record with a win+at least $11,000 on the wheel

but i can understand david walking away with the cash jackpot it was a lot of money to pass up. but with bill fogel i was confused out of my mind

Yeah, but he probably thought that $109,000 was a whole lotta money to risk, so all he said was "Let's take the money and run!".

If you think that Barbara would have opted to play on, well, it's your dime. She won by a fluke, and by getting twenty right in her last episode.

I had forgotten that the amounts were lower pre-speed round. That still means that Barbara was able to vault over the last two levels in one episode.
