2* Any big wins in the 1980s version. One team ended their championship run with ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkc2C-GP-YE $76,250.]]'' [[DownerEnding Too bad they didn't get paid...]]
3* The 500-0 clean sweeps that occurred in the game, one of which was the April Fool's Day episode. One of them came with a perfect 10-word Bonus Lingo round.
4* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO3mqsyOTnk&ab_channel=lobstertexas This]] Bonus Lingo, where Robert and Heather manage to get the maximum ten words and still have twelve seconds left on the clock when they do. Even better, they pull the number needed for a Lingo (10) on the first pull!
5* Anytime ''anyone'' got $100,000 in the Bonus Round in Creator/BillEngvall's version. 90 seconds, no bonus letters, and a computer that sometimes takes several precious seconds to register an answer (probably on purpose, considering what's at stake). Usually the teams are frozen in place afraid to blurt answers out, but there ''were'' at least two winners.
