Hypothetical situation on TPIR $1M Spectacular

[chris319]

Who's gonna give a rats ass about winning a $100k showcase if they just won a million?

Who's going to give a rat's ass about winning 35 cents after the Showcase? And which has the higher odds?

You've seen $1M WWTBAM wins: confetti, check, make your exit, commercial. Big whoop.

 They would rather have a showcase winner, then $1M loser, rather than a $1M winner, then a showcase winner.

It's as simple as that.

And as for the other point, remember that the post-Showcase spin only occurs if there was no such bonus spin in the two Showdowns -- so you could well have the million-winner losing the Showcase.  Heck, I'd wonder if the person would even bother playing the Showcase...
