A wipeout will cause all their money to be lost including any money won on the "Hot Spot".

Each Challenge round has 12 answers, 8 correct and 4 incorrect. The players take turns bidding on the number of of answers that they believe that they can choose correctly until they are challenged. The one winning the bid must answer the number of questions he or she has bid. The winner who wins the two Challenge rounds moves on to the Bonus round. The Bonus round has 12 answers, 6 correct and 6 incorrect. The player has 30 seconds to find all six correct answers. If they succeed, they win the game and a car. [source:mobygames]
