Phil Rossi told me they took out a $1M insurance policy in case somebody wins.
I guess they don't expect more than 1 person to win the million, especially in one show.
My guess is these specials will continue until somebody wins.

May 3rd, 10th, and 17th is when the last of the Million Dollar Spectaculars aired in first-run. May 24th-June 28th saw Saturday primetime special reruns.

I'm sure the miniscule possibility of that is still figured into the insurance policy. Insurers simply calculate the odds of an event happening and figure out how much to charge someone to cover the risk of that event happening. The nice thing about the Big Wheel is that there are mathematical certainties involved, making the risks a lot more easy to calculate than getting into an auto accident or something.

How many times has there been multiple $10K winners on the daytime show? (I remember seeing 2 winners at least once, but that was awhile ago.)
