and there were a few baller moments that happened during a few of those runs: 1) John Carpenter calling his dad letting him know he'd win the million. 2) Joe Trela ran outta lifelines at the $32,000 question 3) Kim Hunt spent lots of time on his $500,000 question and ultimately took the gamble going with his phone a friend 4) David Goodman was another one that had all lifelines going into the million, but unlike Carpenter, he used all of em 5) Kevin Olmstead knew both the final 2 questions 6) Bernie Cullen was probably the funniest of all the Regis winners 7) Ed Toutant was a contestant during the string of 118 shows without a millionaire, lost on his $32,000 question, but because he sent in a letter saying it was a faulty question and the show reviewed it themselves, they brought him back under the same circumstances with a new $32,000 question. 8) Kevin Smith was the first person to see the $500k, and million dollar questions on Meridith's run as host. As well, he used his phone a friend on the $500,000 question, they had a high degree of confidence in their answer, but Kevin decided to take a massive gamble and NOT go with his friend. Instead going with his gut. 9) Nancy Christy ran outta lifelines at the $16,000 question. Also a side note, the contestant after her also won $500,000 for a total of 29 correct answers in a row over those 2 runs 10) Sam Murray won $50,000 on his original run, but because he did it in a fast enough fashion, he was the last person to get into the top 10 for millionaire's tournament of 10. it should also be noted that if a contestant guessed on their million dollar question and got it wrong, then their total they won from their run would still be reduced back down to $25,000, because everyone in that top 10 had won at least $50,000. a side note as well: the woman seen in the hot seat while the confetti was raining down for Sam had won $250,000 on her run. what's funny is on her $500,000 question, she knew all of the specifics of the question but didnt know the question itself. that resulted in her timing out, and automatically walking away because she did not answer the question

Originally appeared on January 31, 2001, when the jackpot was at $1,860,000 when he was ruled out after answering his $16,000 question wrong, leaving him with $1,000. However, it was determined that there was an error in the question, so he was invited back and began with a new $16,000 question. Toutant went on to win the jackpot as it was at the time of his first appearance. - Kevin Smith - First top prize winner on the syndicated version, winning the top prize on February 18, 2003. - Nancy Christy - Won on May 8, 2003. Christy is the only female top prize winner. - David Chang - Won on November 29, 2020. Became the first top prize winner on the primetime revival and the first celebrity to win the top prize, winning $1,000,000 for his charity, Southern Smoke Foundation, with the help of Mina Kimes via the phone-a-friend lifeline on the million-dollar question and Alan Yang as his supporter. - Ike Barinholtz and Alan Barinholtz - Won on August 14, 2024. Ike and Alan Barinholtz became the second overall top prize winners on the prime time revival and the second celebrities overall to win the top prize, winning $1,000,000 for their charity, ASL program at Los Encinos School. This also marks the first time in the history of Millionaire that a team of two contestants win the top prize.

It's fucking insane that out of all these winners, Nancy Christy was the 1st & ONLY female contestant in the U.S. to win the million bucks.

FWIW there are more female winners worldwide. The first winner on the original UK show was a woman.

Jehan Shamshid-Deen had a chance to become the second one (and the first Black US contestant) to win $1,000,000, but she walked away with her hunch being the correct answer, which would have won her $1,000,000 on the Million-Dollar Tournament of Ten, as she was the highest-ranked finalist before Sam Murray answered his $1,000,000 question correctly.
