I had heard someone won the million on the first ep, but I missed that one. That's an interesting way to go, though. The odds are good, though in the house's favor. Still, you risk $900,000 for the 10 mill. That's a lot of dough to blow for nothing. I can't imagine anyone going for it. It's a completely random guess. Thanks, Stu!

But the trick is that you have a 1-in-11 chance of getting the number right. If you make it to the million, the winning range is then used as the new max/min to pick from.
