Episode 109
January 11
Welcome to another
episode of the Million Dollar Money Drop where the hard
part isn't winning the money, it's keeping it. Anna and
Anthony Sinopoli are a married couple of seven years
from New York City. They say they have street smarts and
want to take that million and a red eye flight home.
Well, the million bucks may and a gauntlet of seven
questions will have something very different to say
about that.

this series, their game ends on the very first question.
So Anna and Anthony are gone with an empty cash cow.
Another couple is ready to face the drops tonight, and
they are April and Kenneth Partner. They've been married
