** Creator/{{CBS}} imposed a cap on game show winnings. Initially, contestants on CBS-affiliated shows were retired after winning $25,000, and could not keep any winnings over that limit (although sometime in the mid-to-late 1970s, a contestant could keep up to $10,000 more than the limit, for a $35,000 maximum payout). The cap increased to $50,000 in 1984, $75,000 by 1986, then $125,000 in the early 1990s. By 2006, with ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'' having long since been the only CBS original game show (although a new incarnation of ''Series/LetsMakeADeal'' joined it in 2009), the winnings cap was done away with entirely.

''Series/{{Whew}}'', not by coincidence, offered that much as the jackpot for winning the bonus round. The cap increased to $50,000 in 1984, $75,000 by 1986, then $125,000 in the early 1990s.
