The host of the game show asks the contestant to choose one of the four buckets. After the contestant makes a choice, the host lifts one of the remaining three buckets to reveal a $10 bill under it.

The host subsequently asks the contestant if he or she would like to keep the original bucket or change buckets to one of the two other buckets remaining.
