a game, the youngest child was allowed to select a Monopoly Crazy Cash Card from a rack located at the "Crazy Cash Corner" on the far left of the stage. The rack initially held 21 different cards, each depicting one of the tokens used in either the original "Monopoly" board game or the "Monopoly: Here and Now Edition" board game. Each card held a different randomized amount of money, which was revealed at the end of the show. Most of the cards were valued between $200–$995 in $5 increments, although at least one card held a four-figure amount (usually between $1,000–$7,000) and one card was the "Top Cash Card" worth between $8,000–$25,000. In addition to the Cash Card, a family that won a game also received a special bonus prize which they kept regardless of the final outcome of the show. In the first season of the show, this prize was simply revealed by host Newton, but in the second season, each prize was a "Monopoly Party Prize" revealed by announcer Burton and still shown as a prize, but with a "(Subject of Prize) Party" before it being revealed and explained. At the end of the show, both families took their accumulated cards to the "Crazy Cash Machine". Each card was placed into the Machine, revealing its value, at which point the machine would spit out the amount in oversized Monopoly Money bills. Both families kept all the cash and prizes they won during the game, and the family with the most cash at the end also won a vacation. If there was a tie after both families had used all their cards, then both families won the vacation, rather than playing a tiebreaker. However, this never occurred in any episode. If the "Top Cash Card" was not found by the players, the host would tell the audience near the end of the show what card held it. The only time it was not told was in the second produced episode. In season 3, the format of the show was changed. Instead of two families competing for the whole show, families of varying sizes (two to five members) were chosen from the studio audience to play the games, winning cash or prizes. Instead of earning Monopoly Cash Cards, teams competed for a prize or money (depending on the game). They each then took combination codes from the Mr Monopoly statue's
