Multi-Million Dollar Madness 1
May 22
We've had a mission.
We've traveled the world.
The next phase in the Deal phenomenon... is MADNESS. Quite literally.
We start with a player, SUSAN CUKJATI, a schoolteacher from San Antonio.
She's also a mother of two, and she's playing for a family reunion.
First thing's first... but before we pick a case, we pick a ball. Here's
what happens. Susan will step inside a swirling whirlwind of... golden
balls. Susan will grab one, and whatever number she grabs, from 2 to 13,
is the number of million dollar cases she'll have.
Susan shows us that its is not easy.. The ball she grabs...
That means that this game is played with
11 million dollar cases. Is one of them in case #19?
Starting with six...
5 - This is the students' pick... "Your students are right." $100
12 - Another student pick... $5
20 - $1,000,000 ... ten left.
14 - For the kiddos again... $1000
25 - $1
1 - $10
Great first round. That means a great first offer...

Big first offer. Probably the biggest in
DOND history. Still, the game is young, so... NO DEAL.
Five cases next... But first, the banker would like to comply with one
of Susan's wishes... a model that's more her age. Marisa... is not here.
She's replaced at #18 with... an elderly lady with a cane named Molly. I
am dead serious.
Of course, we go to her first...
18 - $1,000,000... Nine left
10 - ... Make that eight. $1,000,000
11 - We think it's mom's birthday, but we're not sure. $5000
21 - $25
15 - $50
We're better than half now. The banker's going to have to pony up some
serious cash to get her to stop. The bank offers... the highest second
offer EVER...

That's the most she's been offered this
game. There's a 50% chance that she's sitting on a million dollars.
She's giving up $361,700 for a CHANCE at another $638,000... That's
worst case scenario.
Dad says deal.
Sorry, dad. NO DEAL!
