The Portuguese winner who said by Regis Philbin who won 50 million Escudos is Renata Morgado, the first woman to won top prize in all version of Millionaire.
It's too bad Pat didn't go for the million. However, It's very understandable why she didn't. You have to be 100 percent confident with your answer before even thinking about making that kind of gamble. And $500,000 is life-changing money. Great run Pat!
@andygray1762 Why on earth would you read the comments before watching the video if you’re concerned about spoilers?? Then why the HELL would you blame commenters for that??? Talk about entitlement.
The million dollar question was tricky and it tricked her because she would’ve won a million bucks. Ouch!! But still, $500,000 is good enough for a smart lady like Pat Thompson. Congrats, Pat and don’t worry. I would’ve guessed 1970 to be honest with you!! 👍
and would have been the first million dollar female winner ever in the history of the US Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, followed by of course Nancy Christy, who is the first and only woman to win that much money on the American game show Millionaire up to date.
When pat used the 50:50 on the dracula question ❓ I'm very surprised that the game reduced her choices to Tom cruise from rainman Jerry Maguire and the mission impossible movie franchise and Gary oldman from the dark knight and the Harry Potter movie franchise starting with prisoner of Azkaban
16:40 Regis was supposed to say "Third woman to win $500,000" not second because Rosie O'Donnell (from celebrity week) was the second $500,000 female winner
If the total world population at that time was 8 billion, then the question is asking what year in the past was the population half that amount, or 4 billion.
I wonder if anybody ever won this show who used a Lifeline before 32k? I remember I watched the show a lot and you could almost always predict that if somebody used a Lifeline before then they weren't even going to make it within a few questions of a million. She surprised me because she went on a serious roll. And it seems she got lucky where she had just recently read some of the answers. Even the smartest people on the show need to get lucky and have some questions that they know the answer to later in the game
Joe Trela and Nancy Christie both used all their lifelines on the first ten questions. They both got the final five questions right with no lifelines and won the million.
