Heck, I don't like it when anyone walks away from the Million Dollar question, only to realize they were RIGHT to begin with (after they post-walking guess)!
Then you prolly won't like the fact that Australia's first two $500K winners had the right answer to the $1M question after they bowed out...as per Nine's official website, however, neither player (Dr. Trevor Sauer or William Laing) had any regrets.

And just like Tom O'Brien said on that link I posted: "Better Safe Than Sorry."
At least he, those 2 Australian winners, as well as Pat Thompson, and Mary O'Burke (the 2 women who were right on their post-walking guesses when they won $500K; Stephanie Girardi was wrong on her $1M question when she walked with $500K), didn't have to deal with what poor Norm MacDonald had to deal with:
Regis: "You said Greenbrier, yeah, you would've been right."
Norm (along with audience): "OHHHHHH!"
Anyway, Tom, have you gotten a chance to meet Robby Roseman yet? [/quote]
I know I am probably in the minority when I say this, but I would answer the million dollar question, whether I knew it for sure or not. I could live with losing all that money, but I could not deal with the fact that I could have had a million bucks but didn't because I didn't trust myself.
NOTE: When writing this, I currently have five bucks in my pocket, and even $32,000 would look real good.
I do feel kind of bad for Norm MacDonald, but in the end it was his choice to answer the question or not and he let Regis talk him out of answering. In Regis's defense, I have to admit that when Norm said "Greenbrier", he didn't say if he knew the answer or if was just guessing or anything.
