Deal or No Deal

Correct.
Someone who was obsessed with the show and numbers found a pattern, which after 3 boxes you knew where the big prize was. This was caused by the computers random number generator so they switched to a human random selection.
They published their findings on the internet and soon the producers got wind and changed the format.
You'd think you'd keep quiet and try and get on the show!
