I am thinking about putting together a collection of game show's biggest wins over the years. This would span the 1950's through the 2000's. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please pm me with what you have to trade for it (this would probably be a 2 disc collection). Here is what would go on it:

-Price is Right: A Triple Play win (3 cars) from Bob Barker's 50 years on television

-Press Your Luck: The Michael Larsen sweep, Michael memorizes the board patterns and wins a record-breaking $110,237

-Jeopardy!: Ken Jenning's final episode, and he leaves with about 2.5 million after 75 games

-Tic Tac Dough: Thom McKee's final opponent after a world record breaking tenure, Thom leaves with $312,000+ after 88 games (2 episodes)

-$1,000,000 Chance of a Lifetime: No, Who Wants to be a Millionaire was not the first show to give away a million, this hidden gem from the mid 80's was. Features the first known couple to win a million on a game show.

-Beat The Clock: The historic $64,000 win.

-Card Sharks: Norma Brown breaks the bank at the bonus round and wins $28,800 and is the only person ever on the show to have a perfect bonus round win.

-Treasure Hunt: a $50,000 win from the early 80's with Rose attacking host Geoff Edwards.

I know that, since most game shows today offer a million dollars, some of these prize amounts seems small, but trust me, this was ALOT of money back then.
