To earn the championship, the contestant had to either match all of the answers on any one row or match at least one answer on each of the four rows. He/she won $5,000, and the other three contestants were eliminated from the show, keeping whatever money they had won. Contestants remained on the show until being eliminated by an opponent's Fast Bucks win, or until they reached the $25,000 winnings limit that was in force for CBS game shows at the time.
