<P> Though usually considered joke prizes, traders legally win the zonks . However, after the taping of the show, any trader who had been zonked is offered a consolation prize (currently $100) instead of having to take home the actual zonk . This is partly because some of the zonks are impractical or physically impossible to receive or deliver to the traders (such as live animals or the guy in an animal costume), or the props are owned by the studio . A disclaimer at the end of the credits of later 1970s episodes read "Some traders accept reasonable duplicates of zonk prizes ." Starting in the 2012--13 season, CBS invited viewers to provide zonk ideas to producers . At the end of the season, the zonk declared the most creative was worth $2,500 to the winner, and other viewers' zonk ideas were also used . For every viewer - developed zonk, the host announced the viewer who provided the zonk . The contest has been continued throughout the past several seasons after its 2012 introduction . </P> <P> As the end credits of the show roll, it is typical for the host to ask random members of the studio audience to participate in fast deals . In the current Wayne Brady version, these are often referred to as "quickie deals", and are conducted by the host, announcer, and model each . CBS will post information on the show's Twitter address (@ LetsMakeADeal) days before taping to encourage audience members to carry certain items in their pockets in order to win an additional $500 cash, when one of the hosts approaches them at the end of the show and asks to see such items . The deals are usually in the form of the following: </P> <Ul> <Li> Offering cash to a person for possessing a certain item . </Li> <Li> Paying a small cash amount for each instance of a certain item (coins, paperclips, etc .) that a person can produce . </Li> <Li> Offering cash for each instance of a particular digit in the serial number on a dollar bill, driver's license, etc . </Li> <Li> Offering to pay the last check in the person's checkbook, if they had one, up to a certain limit (usually $500 or $1,000). </Li> <Li> Offering cash to one person if they can correctly guess how much the Big Deal of the Day was worth exactly, or the name of the contestant who played for it . </Li> <Li> Offering cash to one person if they can correctly choose which one of two photos has appeared on the show's Instagram account . </Li> </Ul> <Li> Offering cash to a person for possessing a certain item . </Li>
