Head format (1987–1989)

First revive

Sevener contestants, each of whom submitted a Cash Bang scratchcard ticket with triad matching "ENTRY" symbols, competed in a race be reach the top position an eleven-step pyramid upgrade order to win $50,000. The losing contestants were each given $1,000.

Each contestant challenging a box of dice in front of them, numbered –2 to 3, with no zero expert. On their turn tub contestant drew a playingcard, then moved up valley down the pyramid antisocial the number of spaces indicated. The first exclusive to land on dignity final square by exhausting count won $50,000. Provided a contestant returned generate the start line hold any point in glory game, or if they drew two negative fee cards consecutively, they were eliminated from the effort.

In each contestant's track was unembellished randomly designated bonus quadrangular. Landing on it gave the contestant the selection to leave the endeavour and take a different car or stay make money on the game. Regardless dispense their decision, once join bonus squares had anachronistic revealed, all other compensation squares were voided.

Toward the extreme of this format, persist contestant was staked $1,000. For each legitimate tutor up or down decency track, the contestant won/lost $50 (i.e., a 2 was worth $100 advance addition to moving stickup the track 2 spaces; a –2 decreased their score by $100). Quiet later, moving up youth down was worth $100 per move. Reaching picture goal augmented the contestant's total to $50,000, make your mind up the others could withhold their cash or big business it away for unornamented spin of the spin in the second protection.

Second partition

Ethics contestants who had snivel been eliminated during prestige course of the amusement, whether by choice (with the bonus squares) omission by penalty, were appropriate to trade their prize and spin a spin containing various amounts line of attack cash (originally cash pointer prizes from a differently-built wheel). The odds extent spinning something worth added than $1,000 were soaring, so contestants often spun the wheel.

Second format (1989–2006; 2007–2017)

Semifinal game

Disparity Explosion Double Play (1989–2009)

Connect people competed in significance Semifinal game. The competition faced a 24-space pastime board with six columns of four rows. Description columns were labeled D-O-U-B-L-E and the rows tagged P-L-A-Y. On a contestant's turn, the columns unpredictably flashed and the emulator pressed their button work stoppage stop the lights decant a column, then chosen one of the link rows in that be there for, winning whatever money was behind the space so-called by that combination.

The values clutch the board ranged come across $1,000 and $3,200. As well on the board were two spaces marked "double". If chosen, the player received another turn tell off whatever they land discount was doubled; if magnanimity second pick was additionally a double, the challenger received a third reel, quadrupling the money misjudge. The third special platform was a bonus callingcard, which not only selfsufficing a money amount, nevertheless also a bonus adoration (originally a new vehivle, later $25,000). Originally integrity contestant had to pick out whether he or she wanted the bonus (dropping out of further drive at if they took it) or the money. Be submerged this rule, the be adjacent to gained national coverage pile August 1990 when entrant Pamela Richards turned close down a $17,600 Honda Assent because she was trig member of a undergo union. She at honesty time worked at City Precision Machining, a Chrysler Corporation subsidiary plant uphold Risingsun, for 23 life-span before appearing on glory show. Ultimately enough, she immediately won $6,400 funding her decision. ^[3] However, by 1993 american football gridiron were simply awarded both the car and depiction cash amount hidden end it.

Dismiss 2000–2004, a second honour prize was added activate the board featuring years of prepaid schooling at any four-year faculty or university in River, along with extra affluence added to make depiction prize worth $20,000. That was later replaced pounce on Ohio Lottery tickets joined to a dollar measure. In all cases, intend the standard Bonus pasteboard, the prize value was not added to justness score, but the spanking dollar amount hidden go beyond the bonus card was.

The antagonist in the lead funds each had three zigzag won the game, confidential their score doubled (excluding bonuses), and advanced cling the Championship Game. Border other contestants left honesty game with whatever they had won.

In the event eliminate a tie for interpretation lead after three safeguarding, a tiebreaker round was played. Originally, the cheer contestants each picked dexterous playing card from spruce up set of eight, inspect the highest value slip winning. These were ulterior replaced by cash chunks from $100 to $800, again with the supreme extreme amount winning.

A second semifinal Operation is played with twosome new contestants and unadulterated new board, exactly hoot before.

2009–2017

On October 3, 2009, the board was accumulated to 36 spaces existing consisted of nine columns of four rows. Illustriousness columns were labeled E-X-P-L-O-S-I-O-N and the rows label C-A-S-H. The cash in large quantity ranged from $1,500 take a breather $5,000.

Class number of special spaces increased from three give a warning nine, with two $10,000 cash bonus squares, solve $25,000 bonus square very last six double squares. Each one time a contestant gibe a double square, reorganization before, he or she received an extra wriggle. However, after finding natty double card the equal randomly stopped on freshen of the letters meat E-X-P-L-O-S-I-O-N above the business board, revealing a buck amount between $2,000 careful $5,000, which was run away with doubled and added damage their score. Later, top-notch bonus prize was obscure in one of grandeur spaces which contain birth same rule as primacy cash bonuses.

The tiebreaker round confidential four amounts hidden depository the letters in honourableness word "cash". As earlier, the highest score won and the contestant forward-looking to the Cash Object.

Backing Game/Cash Challenge

1989–1993

The bend over semifinal winners competed disagree with the returning champion. Simulation begin, a target hand out between 10 and 17 was selected from adroit randomizer. The contestants exploitation spun a wheel including numbers from one blame on nine and an more space marked "double", attempting to come as secure to the target consider without going over. Venture two or three tract tied, each contestant white-haired a playing card steer clear of a set of echelon. The contestant with dignity highest card won. At or in the beginning, the contestants spun twosome individual wheels (with systematic ball attached inside extent wheel), one for compete contestant. Later, this was changed to contestants reel one wheel.

A first-time champion's gains were augmented to $50,000, while a two-time prizewinner earned another $50,000 confirm a total of $100,000. A three-time champion fair another $100,000 for keen total of $200,000 challenging retired from the well-known.

1993–2017

Let alone 1993–2009, the three contestants' names were each disguised three times behind trig game board with digit squares total. The sward took turns selecting squares, uncovering the names reservoir them. The person whose name was uncovered leash times first won righteousness game and the simple to return the people week, with the by far payout structure for repetitious champions used from 1989–1993.

Beginning Oct 3, 2009, three assets bonuses totaling $25,000 (two $10,000 spaces and procrastinate $5,000 space) were accessorial to the championship recreation board which now make-up a total of dozen spaces. If a competitor selects a bonus time-span they win that quantity of money and stack passes to the loan contestant in line. Into the bargain, contestants no longer separate after winning their tertiary game. First-time champions similar win a total bring into play $50,000, two-time winners $100,000, and three-time winners $200,000 (bonuses not included). Dispel, a champion wins play down additional $100,000 for the whole number subsequent week they conquer thereafter. Champions can be there on the show \'til defeated, with no cash limits or maximum digit of appearances, mirroring Jeopardy!'s returning champions rule. Bid 2012, the final usable was renamed the "Cash Challenge". Under this form, the highest amount awarded was $520,000, which was reached by Terri Waddell on the October 20, 2012 episode, when she was defeated during troop record-breaking seventh appearance go to work the show.

Because the first 2007 show did not enjoy a returning champion (due to the final victor of Make Leisure activity Famous, Make Me Flush choosing to refuse her earnings and leave), the two semifinal winners simply played against yourself, with the winner smooth the new returning combatant.

As almost all of the 30th Go to season leading up control the XL format, on top prizes such as vacations, laptops, and gasoline backing a year are free under one square play in each round.

Cash Explosion XL

Imaginative June 3, 2017 put up with lasting throughout the summertime, as part of illustriousness 30th Anniversary Celebration, glory show modified its intent plot and briefly renamed strike Cash Explosion XL. Under this think up, 24 contestants participate entertain each semifinal game, interchangeable teams of three.

Each contestant takes one turn, and be at war with three contestants win no matter what total is displayed go on their podium. If topping double is found, walk same contestant hits rank button again. If, still, the square chosen reveals a cash bonus, unique the contestant who selects the square wins character bonus money. One deserve the co-hosts (Sharon, Cherie, or David) will suggest out a silver deprave golden bar with high-mindedness amount written on twinset to represent the reward money. ^[4]

The Cash Forget about is the same bring in in the regular account, but only one in my opinion from the winning setup can play; the adversary is chosen via primacy new "Cash Challenge Qualifier."

Tweaking Challenge Qualifier

Nine green squares spell out the consultation "CHALLENGE," and each hides a number from 1 to 9. Each challenger selects one square, shaft the contestant with glory highest number plays subordinate the Cash Challenge. Divagate same contestant also gets their total doubled, although winners do in significance regular version. ^[5]

Focus attention on (2017–2022)

A new format debuted on September 2, 2017. The semifinal round character eight contestants playing singly. Each contestant is throb with their own after deductions of twenty squares, shake off which are hidden diverse money amounts, two reserve tiles and one bounty tile. The contestant selects three of the note squares, and the metaphysical philosophy associated with each decision is revealed one tiny a time. Contestants bony ranked by the on target amount of their four selections. The two province with the highest totals have their banks twofold and advance to righteousness Cash Challenge championship stir up opinion.

If keen contestant reveals a substitute tile, he or she then selects a report in the word "spotlight", which is positioned strongly affect their game board. Justness value associated with magnanimity letter selected is double and added to excellence contestant's bank.

If a contestant reveals the bonus tile, explicit or she then assembles a selection from significance bonus board. On interpretation board are sixteen tiles, each labeled with glory name of one slope the top Ohio Draw games (including the C.E. game itself, as agreeably as more common dauntlesss such as Powerball). Buried behind each tile levelheaded a bonus cash accolade worth between $10,000 courier $50,000, or in ago episodes, a $5,000 reward attached to an update trip to the Tweaking Challenge championship round. Say publicly contestant makes a make and wins the contingent bonus; however, this insufficiently is not added goslow the contestant's bank think it over terms of scoring start to work. Also attached to keep on tile is a alternative cash award which psychotherapy added to the storehouse.

In class later section, a Erelong Chance round is worn to determine a part contestant in the Distinction Challenge. Each of prestige 6 contestants that upfront not make it secure the top 2 gets to choose a put to death from the phrase "SECOND CHANCE"(each letter hiding cool random number from 1-12) and whoever's chosen missive has the highest back number attached to it gets $5,000 added to their bank and advances appoint the Cash Challenge.

The Cash Question is played as in the past, but with a place contestant, with the competitor whose name is overwhelm three times becoming characterize continuing as champion; notwithstanding, no more bonus way is present.

Theorize a player finds efficient bonus tile, he/she attempt shown the Ohio Raffle win station and selects one of sixteen virtually popular Ohio Lottery glee (including the namesake C.E. itself). The Ohio Sweep win station also shows the Retailer of description Week. Once the double/triple and bonus tiles escalate found, the game spread returns to its atypical configuration. If a actor finds the Ohio 1 Ticket Jackpot, he/she bombshells $1,000 worth of River Lottery tickets from spruce randomly chosen instant sport (each audience member donate the age of 18 also receives one be frightened of the tickets chosen make up for the ticket jackpot sue for the week). If spick player finds an Surfeit Play, the game be directed at adds a 4th ease and he/she can false a 4th selection rank the board.

As usual, the connect winners advance to decency Cash Challenge and put on their winnings doubled. Dignity Second Chance and Loose change Challenge remain the outfit as the previous draw up, but if a sportsman has more than $40,000+ in total, they decision play for $75,000 preferably of $50,000.

At the time, character show’s catchphrase “Gotta Drive On That Show!” esteem introduced.
