** But even then, a contestant winning a zonk doesn't mean they have necessarily lost. Other times, what appears to be a Zonk is actually a prize worth several thousand dollars, such as a half-scale antique pie wagon that was worth $3,300, said prize's value revealed only after the contestant was approached to go for the Big Deal and agreed. In some cases, a Zonk may conceal a legitimate prize, such as the time "garbage cans for every day of the week" had one of them containing a fur coat worth $5,000, a "Zonk Pirate Ship" that had the model open a treasure chest concealing a trip, or a junked washer and dryer, with dirty, holey blue jeans seeing the model rummage through the pockets to see if her "little boy" (usually the announcer) left something inside … and he always did, often thousands of dollars in cash (or a check for said amount), tickets for a trip or the keys to a new car
** On one Brady episode, a contestant from Zimbabwe brought in a Zonk of his own; 2 billion dollars! Too bad it was the result of hyperinflation, ''and'' no longer has any value (as he mentioned, the country now uses other currencies, such as the U.S. dollar)

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The early seasons were far more sedate and none of the contestants wore flashy costumes — that didn't start until a contestant brought a sign to make Hall notice her, which then snowballed into contestants wearing costumes to get his attention. Also, Wendell Niles was the announcer in the first season instead of Jay Stewart.

** The May 25, 1963 pilot. No costumes, a Zonk in the Big Deal, and a ''really'' sexist sales pitch preceding the show.
-->'''Monty Hall''' (''sitting by himself in the middle of the contestant area as the camera zooms in from a wide shot''): This is television's only trading floor, where every day the individuals who control the finances of America — the women, of course — come to make deals. And what's more exciting to a woman than trading or swapping or looking for a bargain? It's suspense every second as men and women bring in their old white elephants and try to deal ''me'' out of big cash or big gifts. Well, do you have a leaky umbrella you'd like to get rid of? You know, I may pay you $500 for it. Or if you're a clever trader and know when to stop, you could drive home in a brand-new automobile. On this trading floor we'll buy, sell, or trade everything and anything from Aardvarks to Zithers. There are ''millions'' of deals to be made, and we'll make them ''every day'' on ''Let's Make A Deal''. Watch, we'll show you how it works!
