Gameplay
A team of two people with a pre-existing relationship are given $500,000 in $50 bills, banded in 50 bundles of $10,000 each. Teams are presented with eight general knowledge multiple-choice questions during the course of the game; the first four questions have four answers, while the next three questions have three answers, and an eighth and final question have two.

The contestants choose one of two categories at the beginning of each round. Each answer option corresponds to a different trapdoor or "drop"; only one answer is correct. The contestants have 60 seconds to distribute all the money among the drops as they see fit, however, they were required to leave at least one drop "clear", meaning that no money may be allocated on at least one answer. Contestants are required to place any remaining money bundles onto the drops, as bundles that are not placed on a drop when time runs out are forfeited.

After the timer runs out, the drops for the incorrect answers are opened; any money placed on them falls down a chute and is removed from play, while any money placed on the correct answer is carried forward to the next question. This process is repeated until at any point where the contestants ran out of money and loses, or after the final question; if they were correct, they win any remaining money retained for its answer.
