    A less destructive method for doing this is to get more than $30k the first time you play. Since you start the game with a lifetime average of 0, winning $30k should not be too much of an issue if you play the game by yourself.

    Gr33nEggsNSpambingo. Topping $30K on your first game isn't too difficult as long as you do well in the Jack Attack

    Create a new contestant and play a solo game, getting as many questions wrong as you can and making sure to lose as much as you can in the Jack Attack. You'll end with a very large negative number as your average and this will make it excessively easy to get $30,000 over your average on your next play. Just don't lose too much, as it counts against your lifetime earnings and the related achievements.

    If you do manage to destroy your lifetime earnings in this fashion, just move all your save data to an external memory unit or just delete it outright to gain a clean slate again.
