And, for that matter, why, if you're putting all belief that Wikipedia isn't Full Of Crap, then why didn't you just consult with it instead of posting an hour earlier?[/quote]

I have an odd feeling that this was a trivia-type thread when I saw it...

Don't know if it was his intention or not...not gonna go there after what happened last time.

I will agree with tpirfan's point...the one thing I could never understand is why you wouldn't leave with the cash every time on the NBC shopping era. They never seemed to offer any incentive to stick around (crappy prizes or whatever).

Just to add to the confusion:

IN the pre cash jackpot days i don't know if they ever really clarified if the cash (that took the total to $95,000) was a separate thing if you went for it all, or if you got the cash/gold keyring with just the car.

In the pre-jackpot days, it went car ($420) then the lot ($510? I think it was) which was all of the prizes plus whatever cash it took to bump the total up to $95,000.
