I have a 1982 example from The Price Is Right. In the showcase round, the winner is the contestant who bids closer to the price of her own showcase, without going over. If the winner's bid is within $100, she wins both showcases.
Joining the episode at 39:40, Patricia has already bid on showcase #1, but the audience believes she has gone over. Catherine has just seen showcase #2 and will now bid:

I calculate the odds at 1-in-24.

Awesome. I am a bigger fan of Jim Perry though. Love "Sale of the Century" too.

Also great. And even better if you watch the whole show. The winner got screwed over by her showcase opponent in game #3. The winner was in contestants' row the whole time til she won the last game. She lost her pricing game and won with a meh spin as the first player to get into the showcase.

I have read up on that more. Pretty sure Drew thinks he cheated. But they never proved it. He read it with zero excitement too. In the past few months I saw an over by $5. That was rough.

What a waste of $3k.
