This is a game in which the contestant can win up to $25,000.

The onstage contestant will see and have described four minor prizes. In order, a false price will be shown for each and the contestant will judge whether the actual retail price is higher or lower. For each correct judgment, the contestant eventually gets a chance at the Punchboard. After the contestant has determined the number of chances at the Punchboard, the contestant then takes his chances one at a time.

There are fifty compartments on the Punchboard. In each compartment, there is a card with a specific amount in dollars. At one side of the board in full view is a card with the breakdown in dollars and the quantity of each denomination as follows:

(1) $25,000 (1) $10,000
(3) $ 5,000 (5) $ 1,000
(10) $ 500 (10) $ 250
(10) $ 100 (10) $ 50
(4) Second Chance cards

(One of each $50, $100, $250 and $500 will also have "Second Chance" printed on the card). These fifty cards will be placed at random in the fifty slots under the supervision of a representative of Program Practices.

The contestant selects one of the fifty slots and punches through the paper at his selection. The host will remove, read and show the card confirming what the contestant has won on that chance. If that is the contestant's only chance, the game is over and the amount shown is what he has won.

If, however, the contestant has another chance (or chances), the contestant must decide whether to keep the amount shown and conclude play or give up the amount shown and take another one of the chances. This decision is made with any subsequent chances the contestant has earned until the contestant either decides to stop or runs of out of chances.

If the contestant punches the hole in which the card reads "second chance", the contestant gets another free chance at the board. That amount is added to the original amount before either the play is ended or the decision to continue with the contestant's chances or stop is made.
