€200,000La MattaIf the player has not sold his/her box yet and there are more than two unopened boxes, once La Matta (the madwoman) is opened, the player is asked to take one of twenty scrolls placed in front of each box holders containing two of each the following (eight scrolls containing one of each options until June 2013):
Raddoppia (Double): The biggest unrevealed amount is doubled (except for Pacco X and Pacco Y).
Dimezza (Half): The biggest unrevealed amount is halved (except for Pacco X and Pacco Y).
Cambio obbligato (Forced swap): The player is forced to swap his/her box with one of other unopened boxes.
Apri un blu (Open a blue): The doctor tells the player the number of a box containing a "blue" amount (from €0.01 to €250, except for Pacco X and Pacco Y). It is only effective if there are at least two "blue" amounts remaining.
Vai o resti (Go or stay): The player is asked to choose between going on or quitting the game immediately until the next time he/she is chosen as the player again. This could be useful when the player is in a bad situation such as there are only small amounts remaining.
Arrivederci (Goodbye): The player leaves the game instantly and is replaced by one of the box holders. The new player is chosen by revealing the name of a region hidden in La busta nera (the black envelope).
Svela la X (Reveal the X): The value of Pacco X is revealed.
Pericolo Pubblico (Audience risk): The player chooses one of the audience members and the chosen one chooses the next box to open.
Provaci (Try it): The player undergoes a skill test (such as quizzes, riddles, etc.) as requested by the doctor. The player wins an extra €1,000 if the test is passed.
Conta (Count): The player chooses the next box to open through a counting-out game, which starts from the first unopened box except for the one held by the player.
La Matta has a value of €500 if it is held by the player.
Additional gamesChe jella sia (What bad luck is)
The player can decide whether to play the game with 5 to 14 boxes remaining. Each of the "blues" remaining (including La Matta, and Pacco X if its value is less than €5,000) has a value of €10,000. If the player managed to reveal all "reds" with at least one "blue" unrevealed, the player wins €10,000 for each "blue" unrevealed. Otherwise, the player leaves with nothing.
Gioco dei 3 Pacchi (Game of 3 boxes)
The player wins an extra €5,000 if the box containing Pachito is found within the first three picks.
Also, the Banker on this version knows where the money is, and he decides the breakdown if how many boxes are opened in each round.
