GREED FUN FACTS:
Dan Avila played for more money on the 11/18 episode than any other single Greed player - $2,200,000!

In addition, Dan has now become the ONLY player in television game show history to play for over 3 million dollars - and yet win nothing.

Interestingly, his brother Ernie, later appeared on Greed, and won more money than his brother - even though he was terminated!

"Greed"  Rules
The rules are complicated, yet simple. 

The five players play their way up the "Tower of Greed," consisting of 8 questions, valued at $25,000; $50,000; $75,000; $100,000; $200,000; $500,000; $1,000,000; $2,000,000.  [Note:  In "Super Greed," the values for the last three questions are raised to $1,000,000; $2,000,000; and $4,000,000.]

The first four questions ($25K-$100K) are each answered by one team member, with the fifth-place contestant answering the $25,000 question and so on.  Questions have four or five possible answers.  The player will answer the question, at which point the team captain can accept or change the answer.   Teams can stop after any correct answer and take the money they have earned.  Note that TEAM payouts of $500,000 or more will be paid in annuities of $100,000 per year if any one player wins $200,000 or more.

Once a team reaches $100,000, a decision must be made.  From this point on, teams know the category of the upcoming question before deciding whether to continue.  If they choose to go on, the "terminator" is activated.  At random, a computer will choose one player of the 5.  This player will have to decide whether to challenge one of his/her teammates or leave the team intact.  If a challenge is made, the person making the challenge receives $10,000 regardless of the outcome of the challenge.  One question is asked in the challenge round and whichever player answers correctly stays in the game and will play for both players' shares of the money.  If a player buzzes in and misses, the other player wins by default.  Players may buzz in at any time.

Starting with the $200,000 question, the format changes.  Between six and nine answers are given to a "survey" style question.  Contestants must pick the top 4 answers to advance, and the team captain has the use of a "freebie" to eliminate any one answer at any time during the final 4 questions. 

Once 4 selections have been made, they are revealed as correct or incorrect one at a time.  If a team gets 3 out of 4, they are offered an incentive to stop ($20,000 for the $200,000 question, $50,000 for the $500,000 question, a car and $25,000 for the $1,000,000 question). 

The remaining questions work the same way, starting with the "Terminator" and ending with the revealing of the answer.  It is mathematically possible for "Terminators" to eliminate all but one player who could play for the jackpot.

Unlike shows such as WWTBAM?, Greed is an all-or-nothing show.  If you miss, you lose (except for "Terminator Challenge" money).
