The participants give away hundreds of thousands of dollars to unsuspecting people over the course of the show. Along the way, they are judged based on their creativity and tenacity. At the end of each episode, the least impressive contestant is eliminated. At the end of the competition, the biggest giver is surprised with a $1 million prize.
