Make Me A Millionaire Episode 123 - Air Date 6/20/2009

The California Lottery's TV game show, "Make Me a Millionaire," awarded $117,000 in cash and prizes to 12 lucky contestants this week.

Jose Martinez, a single father from Pomona, walked away with $24,000 after playing the Safe Cracker game. Martinez plans to use a portion of his prize to help ring in his daughters 15th birthday. I gave her the choice between having a quinceañera or going to Hawaii, he said. Now I can give her both!

Two other contestants Eric Sonne of Seaside and William Boman of Lee Vining won a new car, the Limited Edition California Jetta made by Volkswagen. Bowman and his wife of forty-one years manage the Murphys Motel on the eastern entrance of Yosemite National Park. Sonne, a small business owner, won his way onto the game show after his wife purchased Scratchers tickets for him on his birthday. He said he wasnt nervous on the show because he has experience acting in community theater.

I think the contestant should be able to determine if they want to keep the statement they pick or not in the "California Cool" game.

I miss "The Big Spin", but this show is just as much exciting... Thanks for putting these on YouTube. I'm originally from San Diego, so I don't get to see this on TV here in Washington State. It looks like Johnathan Goodson took some ideas from his Dad...the original producer of The Price Is Right, and implemented them on "Make Me A Millionaire". (with the last round....where a contestant has to guess Higher or Lower)
