Format
Two complete games are played per episode, involving a group of 13 contestants. At the start of each game, one contestant is chosen at random and asked a series of 13 true/false questions, but is not immediately told which of their responses are correct. After answering all the questions, the contestant is given the opportunity to change any one answer if they wish via a Pepsi Play. They must then choose a "lucky range" that they believe contains the actual number of correct answers, followed by a "lucky number" representing their guess at the exact number correct.
The correct answers are then revealed in random order. If the contestant has chosen the appropriate lucky range, they win money according to the table below and can win an additional $25,000 for guessing the lucky number exactly if it is less than 13. Over- or under-predicting the lucky range sends the contestant home with nothing.[1]
Whenever a contestant is one correct answer away from reaching either end of their lucky range, the hosts may offer a guaranteed cash prize. The contestant may accept this offer and end the game, or reject it and play on.
