For the first three years of this format, if the leading player opted not to go for the Cash Card, the second-place player was then offered that chance, but the jackpot card was removed from the lineup.

In 1992, coinciding with the aforementioned removal of the extra Fame Game and subsequent $ 20 money card in round three, the "WIN" and "CAR" cards were replaced by another prize; as mentioned above, if a player had a winning score of $ 100 or more or starting in 1994, then picked the "car space" in

In 1989, also as part of the aforementioned format revamp, the shopping round was replaced with a game called the "Winner's Board" (based on the Winner's Board used on the

In 1992, two significant changes were made to the Cash Card: The Cash Card jackpot itself was fixed at $ 5,000, but occasionally was worth $ 10,000; and the "Joker" was replaced with the "Take $ 5" card, which allowed the player to remove $ 5 from one of their opponents' scores.
