Episode 112
February 1
It's quite a sight to see
$1 million in genuine American currency. 50 bundles of
$20 bills making each bundle $20,000. On previous
episodes we've seen a lot of people come to the platform
of potential payoffs in an attempt to stop the drop.
Some of the home viewers who had seen the show got their
turn tonight by playing the live interactive tv at
FOX.com.
Over in the studio we meet America's newest millionaires
Jennifer and David Belsky. They've only dated for three
weeks, but they've been married for two years. Jennifer
and David currently live in an apartment with a dog, a
cat, and a five-month-old baby. If they leave with
enough money, they're going to buy a dream house as they
need more space.
