Gameplay
Five contestants compete for the right to play for $50,000.

Main Game
The game is played in five rounds. In each round, the contestants faces a 25 numbered square game board. Behind those numbers are money amounts from $100 to $1,000. On a player's turn, he/she got to pick a number and whatever money amount was behind the chosen was added the controlling player's total. In the fifth & final round, one square on the board would win the player in control $2,500, plus the minimum value was $500.

Extra Special Squares
In each new round, extra special squares were added to the board. And here they are:


 * Double - which doubled the controlling player's score. Should the controlling player have less than $1,000, that amount was added to that player's score.
 * Bonus - revealing that square won the controlling player a new car.

All players got to keep the money that they've won, but the player with the most money at the end of the fifth & final round won the game and the right to play the $50,000 Vault Round.

The $50,000 Vault Bonus Round
To start, the winning player was given a $10,000 cash buyout in exchange for the right to play for the $50,000. Should the buyout be refused, the winning contestant was faced with two vault doors. One of them contained the $50,000 grand cash prize, while the other hides a prize package worth anywhere from $2,500 to $25,000. The winning player pressed one of two buttons to open one of two vaults, and whatever the player got from the chosen vault was his/hers in addition to the money from the game.
