I read a Las Vegas newspaper article that blatantly spoiled two contestants had already won the $1,000,000 top prize on the TV show. I'm wondering if those prizes have to be paid even if the shows never make it to broadcast? I'll ask some of my Virginia Lottery friends. Virginia was about to join the game until it melted down.
I guess it would be possible to scrub the lottery tie-in part of the game, but that's one hell of a waste. That makes me believe that they would want to wait until Monopoly Millionaires Version 2 starts playing so that they can say "You could be on stage and win just like Bertha Ricketts just did."
