TPIR $1m Spin Question
« on: November 19, 2004, 08:31:13 PM »
If this has been asked before, I apologize.  If not, here goes.

If two (through six) people win the $1 million prize on a Primetime Special, what happens?  Do they each get the annuity, or do they divide the money among the winners?
If you didn’t create it, it isn’t your content.

Each person would get $1M. They would not split a $1M jackpot among 2 winners.

Although you bring up a good point.

I don't think they have confidence in 1 winner, not to mention 2, but they did take out an insurance policy to cover a winning $1M spin. I'm sure they took into account the possiblity of more than one person winning, but I'm not sure the specifics of that when it relates to insurance.

Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

The odds of it happening are so long, I would imagine the additional premium on the policy to cover a multiple-win show would be minimal.

Even longer odds for this (but hey, anything's possible)..

2 $1M spins on the wheel AND each player is the exact same amount away from their showcases, and both of them are less than $250 away...
