| 3 | !! For the GameShow: |
| 4 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT1rxdvWjGg During one 1974 episode]], a couple drew ''three consecutive Aces'' followed by a 2 on their first four turns at the Gambit Board. They were in no danger of busting, since all the Aces could count as 1 to leave them on a total of 5 if necessary, so they chose to keep playing. The next card was a 6, bringing them to 21 and awarding a $500 Gambit Jackpot, a car, and all the prizes they'd found (two trips, camping gear, vacation gear, and $1,500 cash). |
| 5 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU25L_PAhsg A 1976 episode]] had "half-checks" hidden on the Gambit Board, which could award cash values of $500, $1,000, $2,500, or $10,000. If a couple found a left and right half, they were credited with that amount of money. One winning couple collected $500 this way, and also won a $1,000 Gambit Jackpot and a new Chevy Vega by getting TabletopGame/{{blackjack}}. The winners of the next match completed a $10,000 check on their fourth pick, but were in danger of busting since their hand totaled 13 going into that turn. They got a 5 and chose to stop on 18, allowing them to keep the cash and a cruise they'd found. (The episode is also notable for Wink's [[ImpossiblyTackyClothes loud red/white plaid sportcoat]], which he chose out of his own wardrobe.) |
| 6 | * On the May 14, 1981 edition of ''Las Vegas Gambit'', a Gambit Galaxy of '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5RIfWmNzUQ#t=6m06s $51,565]]''' was won! Even more awesome, the couple won without getting any doubles or bad rolls. |
| 7 | * Any big winner on ''Catch 21'', given that it doesn't happen often. |
