Special gimmicks are added into some of the games as well. And it starts in a big way... WITH A GOLDEN ROAD WIN (something last seen in primetime in 2008), this time for a $115,780 Lincoln Navigator!

* January 10, 2024 (Primetime): History was made when Any Number was played. Normally, the piggy bank is only a few dollars and change, or worse, not even a single dollar. But tonight, the piggy bank became THE MEGA PIGGY BANK. If the player won the piggy bank, the value of it would be multiplied by 10,000. So, not only is the car what you want, but the piggy bank too. Sadly, the player didn't win the car, just the piggy bank which was worth $6.27, giving her $62,700, more than the value of the car, which was over $25,000! And she impressively won her showcase, being off by under $1,000, giving her a total of $124,446. Awesome! Also, in that same episode, another contestant won $103,500 in Plinko (for up to $500,000, with a $100,000 center slot) with just 3 chips, and incidentally, his total winnings came out to $110,237, the same amount that Michael Larson won on Press Your Luck back in 1984.

The first item has 2 prices, and then every new item has one additional price added. So, there are 3 prices for the 2nd item, 4 for the 3rd, 5 for the 4th, and 6 for the 5th and final one. If you want to make it easier, you can use a penny to remove an incorrect price, up to using enough pennies to ensure you get the right price. If you make a mistake, you have to use 2 pennies to try again. If you get something wrong with less than 2 pennies left, you lose everything. So, you're allowed to bail out with the money you have at any time. The money starts at $1,500, doubles for the next three, then increases to $25,000.[[/note]] And since this is on the Awesome page... yep.

Altogether, including the one-bid prize, the contestant, Samantha, already won a total of $106,112! Later in the show, Mark plays the Grocery Game for $200,000. AND HE WINS IT! AND GOT A FREE PASS TO THE SHOWCASE AS WELL (he spun .70)! And then, later in the 2nd half, Thad plays Punch A Bunch, but this time, for the normal daytime top prize of $25,000... but with an added twist. There are now FIVE $25,000 slips, and FIVE "Double" slips. They worked like the old "Second Chance" slips, meaning you got to punch another hole, and the value of the slip inside would be doubled. They can stack too, meaning if you punched out all five Double slips, and then punched out a $25,000 slip, that would be $800,000. The guy playing got $1,000 on the first slip, gave it back, then found a Double. AND THEN HE FOUND ONE OF THE $25,000 SLIPS FOR $50,000, which he wisely kept (that is also considered a win since he found the top amount). And we ended it off with a nice Lexus win in Range Game! That contestant would also make it to, and win his showcase, giving Chance a total of $113,490. And those three huge wins were three of five out of six pricing game wins in that show, the only loss being in Squeeze Play. ALMOST $500,000 WAS WON IN THIS SHOW ALONE! One of the biggest total winnings for a single show in Primetime, since the $1,000,000 Spectaculars in 2008. AMAZING!

No one gets a dollar in the first nine showdowns of the week, but all three contestants (Charlotte, Wilbert, and Zachary) do it in No. 10. Then, for the first time since 10/6/98, two of them spin a dollar on their bonus spins, each winning $25,000 for a total of $35,000, while sadly the third came just short of landing on the nickel, which would have given him an additional $10,000. A total of $80,000 is given away during the segment, surpassing the normal maximum of $78,000 (only gettable if all 3 players spin a dollar and then get a dollar in each of their bonus spins). If it's not the best episode of the Carey era, it's definitely in the top three. When the second $25,000 is won, Drew collapses into unstoppable laughter because he can't believe what he's seeing and even the contestants enjoy a HappyDance.

* April 5, 2021: In the Showcases, the runner-up (Monique, who won $11,000 on the wheel) was off by $301. The top winner (Jack, who also won $11,000 cash ($10,000 [$10,000 on Hot Seat + $1,000 on the wheel) wheel] before this)? OFF BY $133 for a Double Showcase Win, $133, giving him $58,958 in total.

* September 17, 2021: One of 2 new games for the 50th season, To The Penny, is played for the first time. It's essentially an updated Penny Ante, except it's played for cash, up to $25,000.[[note]]You have 5 pennies, and you have to correctly guess the price of 5 grocery items. The first item has 2 prices, and then every new item has one additional price added. So, there are 3 prices for the 2nd item, 4 for the 3rd, 5 for the 4th, and 6 for the 5th and final one. If you want to make it easier, you can use a penny to remove an incorrect price, up to using enough pennies to ensure you get the right price. If you make a mistake, you have to use 2 pennies to try again. If you get something wrong with less than 2 pennies left, you lose everything. So, you're allowed to bail out with the money you have at any time. The money starts at $1,500, doubles for the next three, then increases to $25,000.[[/note]] And since this is on the Awesome page... yep. He got the first 4 grocery item prices right and didn't use any of his 5 pennies, letting him use all 5 on the final one for an automatic win.

* May 29, 2023: Natalie had a painful loss in Cliff Hangers, where, on the last item with $8 to spare, she said $50, and the mountain climber went over the mountain. The actual price of that item was $41. She missed it by $9, a dollar too many. But she makes up for it in a big way in the Showcase round. Her bid was $31,750. Actual retail price... $31,900! She becomes the last Double Showcase Winner of the season, and in Studio 33 with a $150 difference on her showcase, giving her a total of $72,517.

* In general, the insane budget this show had for its time. While it started slightly bigger than the daytime version (a Barker winner got around $3,000-$4,000, while a James winner got around $5,000-$6,000), by the end of its first season, the show's budget settled into what we remember it as. It wasn't uncommon to have two cars offered in a game, or even on one occasion, ''an actual airplane'' (that was won in a showcase BTW, a total of $24,285). The main attraction was the Showcases, which went as high as ''nearly $23,000'', an insane total for early 70's game shows. For the record, the biggest total given away was $35,142, during the final season.
