There were 'duplicate balls' throughout every series, meaning, for example, one could open two balls containing the same amount of money. There were also, on two occasions, an amount repeated thrice in the same game. On these occasions, contestants opened their balls to reveal three £6,000 and three £10,000 balls collectively. This only occurred twice during the entire run of two hundred and eighty-eight episodes.

Near the end of its run, new, large amounts were added, in a bid to make the game more exciting. These amounts were more obscure than the 'going up in increments of £5,000' the old ball amounts system used to follow above the £20,000 ball. Some examples of these balls seen during the later series of the show are £42,000, £67,000 and £72,000.
