“To win this money, two teams of five individuals each will compete by attempting to give the most popular answers to simple survey questions. The questions can be as simple as ‘What’s the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning?’ and the family that wins most points gets a chance to win this cash prize. It’s that simple.”
