“Duel” (ABC)
This quiz show pit two contestants against each other in duels during which competitors answered multiple choice questions by placing bets on the correct answer with one of their 10 allotted poker chips. Players could place a chip on more than one answer, but once they ran out of chips or didn’t place a chip on the correct answer, they were eliminated from the game. Contestants could successfully stretch their bankroll by betting on one answer at a time, but only if it was correct. Ashlee Register, a Florida nurse, won a total of $1.795 million over the course of the week-long game show event, including taking the top prize in the 2007 season finale.
