Taking prizes back?

[J.R.]

While on the topic of unwanted prizes... how does one go about in refusing a won prize?

 

Is it as simple as telling the producer, \"I do not want this\"?

Since generally you have to sign paperwork to take delivery of the prizes you DO win, yes, I suspect it\'s exactly this simple.

The way it was handled when I worked at TPIR was you signed some paperwork right after the taping for ALL prizes, but they attached an office phone number that you could call within 30 days if you inevitably changed your mind about a prize.

I remember a rather in-depth discussion I had concerning my appearance on Millionaire and how detailed they were as to what to expect and what was also expected of us. Specifically we were told what lines not to cross, and if we did cross those lines we\'d be in quite the world of trouble.


One specific thing we discussed was the whole \"final answer\" procedure. You have to say it- they really don\'t want you to just say \"final\" but they won\'t hold it against you if you don\'t make a habit out of it- because if you don\'t you\'re just wasting everybody\'s time and they can and will DQ you on the spot if they feel you\'re not conducting yourself in the manner in which a normal human being would.


And I mean wasting time in the literal sense. Because nothing proceeds until you say those words.
