Race to the Finish

Race to the Finish is a contestant can win any or all of three prizes, of which the most expensive is usually a car. The contestant is given a standard deck of cards with three suits representing one of the prizes (most expensive is given hearts, the next is given spades, the least expensive is given diamonds), and the remaining suit (clubs), representing Zonks. He/she/they draws until either one of the prizes or the Zonk crosses the finish line (five hearts, four spades, three diamonds, three clubs). In the event a prize crosses the finish line first, the contestant is given an offer to continue on or keep the prizes they have earned so far (if the former happens, he/she will not be allowed to have the option of bailing out until another prize crosses the finish line), knowing that if the Zonk suit crosses the finish line, all prize(s) earned are forfeited. A cash buy-out may be offered to stop if the contestant is one away from the Zonk and no prizes have crossed the finish line. Prior to December 2011, the game was called Finish Line. On one episode, six hearts, five spades, and four diamonds or clubs were necessary. On March 1, 2012, a contestant won the car by drawing five hearts in only five cards drawn.
