This is a US series using something different each game, and at the end, using a 'What's the deal?' trick.

I will start with a $1,000,000 top prize, then go up $100,000 for each show that will be played. And then at the end, there may be a twist...

Welcome to a series of Deal or No Deal, where we can really create some big winners. With one alternating jackpot for each show, somebody’s gonna get rich! Let’s see our first player!

Contestant: Brad Shaw!

He is 21 from Redwood Falls, Minnesota. He is currently at college, and has some student loans to pay off. He wants to buy a new car and get some driving lessons. But to do that, he has to go through Deal or No Deal, Brad, this is how we play *applauses.*

We have 26 cases, each holding a varying amount of money the top prize tonight is… $1 million. *large applauses* and they go down in decreasing amounts all the way to one penny.

“It’s too much to risk…”

Brad’s relieved that he took the $276,000 while he could.

In case 21 was…



Brad, you made a fantastic deal!

To prove it:

8: $500,000

26: $750

Now it's time for... DOUBLE or NOTHING!

Brad, you can now place a bet and choose one of the 2 cases.

"Out of my $276,000? I'll bet $56,000 so I'll be left with $220,000 if it's nothing."

And your case?

"Case 2!"



*groans* But Brad, you leave here with $220,000!

Great game! I'd have either won $213,000, $219,000 or $197,000... and probably risked whatever could have got me to $276,001 if I felt that way inclined, for a worst-case scenario of winning $117,999
