Lysette Huerta: Beast Games Changed Her Life

Some people fight to the bitter end. Others know when to take the risk-free direct deposit and clock out early. Lysette chose the latter option, and said “I’m good” with splitting a cash offer of $250k in the Beast Games. Would you have done the same?

For days, Lysette couldn’t stop thinking about her fiancé and daughter, Olivia.

The chaos and drama of Beast Games couldn’t drown out what was on her mind, in her heart, what she missed: Home.

“If he gives me one and I’m not gonna hurt anybody, it’s my time to go.”

And when chance came? She took it.

Lysette was given a choice:

  1. Climb a tower and stay in the game for a possible $5 million.

  2. Take a cash payout, and split $250,000 among whoever else did the same.

She didn’t hesitate. Mommy’s coming home with something, baby girl.

18 other contestants were thinking the same way and also took the payout.

And with that, Lysette secured $13,800 with zero heavy lifting. Not too shabby. 

Was it millions? No.

Was it guaranteed? Absolutely.

No brutal eliminations. No bribing. No climbing. Just money in the bank and a ride home. 

“I could say right now that Beast Games definitely changed my life. And I’m so proud that I followed my gut and I did it.”

When Olivia watches the show, she won’t see someone who “gave up.”

She’ll see that her mom made the decision that was right for her, took the money, and left happy.

She’ll see someone who played the Beast Games her way.

Beast Games might be over, but MoneyLion is still handing out cash – $3 million is still up for grabs.
