Box Office Bonanza
This was a special week of episodes that aired during the show's first season in 2000, where the "Box Office" card was replaced by the "Blockbuster" card. If chosen, the Box Office Jackpot doubled (but returned to its pre-doubled total if the subsequent Box Office round was not won). On Wednesday of that week, a record $33,260 jackpot was won. The Friday payoff rules remained, except that the winner took home $2,000.
