Twenty-six women control twenty-six briefcases, each of which contains as little as a penny, and as much as $1 million. How much faith does a player have in the contents of the cases? Only the banker knows for sure.

Episode 3.26
January 14

The Million Dollar Mission rolls on, as so far, no one who has faced the board has taken the big money. Will MARGARITA MONTIJO be the first? She an ob-gyn nurse from Phoenix who's playing for her three wonderful kids. She also is taking care of her father, who wants to get a new truck for him.

Tonight's board features a TRUCK, a Ford F-250, in place of the $50,000 space. Also, we're putting up six million dollar cases on the board. Is one of those in #2?

Margarita's case

She says "It's really pretty when I write it."

Start with six, please.

19 - $5000
4 - $10
8 - $25
22 - $1,000,000... five left.
7 - $750
10 - $10,000

She already has a 25% chance of leaving with a million. The banker doesn't like that, so he's paying big bucks to get her out of here. How big?

$ 0.01 $ 1,000

THAT big. She has six of the big seven AND the truck. NO DEAL.

Margarita also wants to own her own plane to fly on medical missions. Five more...

12 - $25,000
21 - Tameka... is also a pilot. Maybe. $500
25 - $100
5 - $1,000,000... Four left.
9 - $200

Even with the million in that round, she still has a 26.6% chance of having a million. A new second offer record...

Helping out Margarita are Totie (best friend who works in a Mom Mobile), Michael (husband), and Jose (younger brother). They all want another round of cases. NO DEAL.

Four more cases...

1 - "I think this is kinda pretty." $75
17 - $300
23 - $400
15 - $75,000

The good news is that the millions are still in play. The offer is only going to be bigger. This one is the biggest for this stage of the game...

Three cases to open, a big safety net, and her father wants her to press on. "No deal." "We are flying all the way, baby." One washing machine later, and we're continuing with three...

13 - Gala would like to see the dollah... and there it is.
11 - Now we want to see a penny... we see the truck instead. But that's okay, because the million is still there

Bye, truck.

6 - $1,000,000... Three left.

Still a better than 37% chance at a million. The banker offers....

   

BANK OFFER
$239,000

 
$ 0.01 $ 1,000
$ 5 $ 100,000
$ 50 $ 1,000,000
  $ 1,000,000
  $ 1,000,000
   

A drop, but still an amazing board and an amazing offer. There's still a half-and-half board, a great dealer's board. The help say no deal. She only needs one of the MDCs... No Deal.

Two to go.

3 - Everyone think penny.... $1,000,000... Two left.
14 - There's the penny.

We went from a 29% chance to a 33% chance that Margarita is a millionaire tonight with that one pick. And the banker just soiled himself...

   

BANK OFFER
$284,000

 
$ 0.01 $ 1,000
$ 5 $ 100,000
$ 50 $ 1,000,000
  $ 1,000,000
  $ 1,000,000
   

Totie says she knows that she has the money. Jose points out the safety net. Mike says to take the deal.

NO DEAL!

Could we set a record tonight?

24 - $1,000,000... one left.

The answer... probably not. The safety net is broken, but we still have a 40% chance at better-than-six figures. The banker offers...

   

BANK OFFER
$173,000

 
$ 0.01 $ 1,000
$ 5 $ 100,000
$ 50 $ 1,000,000
  $ 1,000,000
  $ 1,000,000
   

Over a $100,000 drop. Dad says no. Jose says yes. What's it going to be? NO DEAL!

26 - Boom. $1,000,000

The new offer...

   

BANK OFFER
$22,000

 
$ 0.01 $ 1,000
$ 5 $ 100,000
$ 50 $ 1,000,000
  $ 1,000,000
  $ 1,000,000
   

Still a mighty big offer for what she has left on the board. Michael wants her to walk with something, but Margarita is going all the way. NO DEAL

16 - $1000

New offer...

   

BANK OFFER
$32,000

 
$ 0.01 $ 1,000
$ 5 $ 100,000
$ 50 $ 1,000,000
  $ 1,000,000
  $ 1,000,000
   

NO DEAL.

20 - $5

Final offer of the game.

   

BANK OFFER
$40,000

 
$ 0.01 $ 1,000
$ 5 $ 100,000
$ 50 $ 1,000,000
  $ 1,000,000
  $ 1,000,000
   

The banker respects Margarita... but that's not all... He also wants to offer flying lessons for $15,000. That's a total deal of $55,000. It's better than half of the difference. Margarita thanks Howie for making her dream come true. DEAL for $55,000!

Was it the right decision? In her case...

 
$100,000

Margarita's Deal
$55,000

Not a good deal, but not a bad decision. Congrats!

Next time... SEVEN million dollar cases.
