Million Dollar Winner montage - Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? - US

All million dollar winners included from all editions in the US (Primetime, Syndicated, Super, Tournament of Ten).
Note: I made this video many years back when I was in my late teens, and have not gotten any money from the creation of this video. I make completely different videos now pertaining to the game show Jeopardy!, so if that still interests you, stick around!
