Watching the clip of Dan Avila's team's $1m question, this scenario never happened on the show, but perhaps someone has seen a rules sheet and might know the answer.
On the $1m question (question 7), how is the money distributed if some of the players, but not all, take the opt-out?
For example:
Player A is playing for $400,000
Player B is playing for $400,000
Player C is playing for $200,000.
Say player C takes the car that is offered as an opt-out. The other two go for the million and win. Do they each get $500,000? Common sense would say they do. And if so, wouldn't it be in, say, Player A's best interest to instill doubt among the other players in the hopes that they take the car?
