Gameplay

Wesley Autrey, a New York City construction worker who became dubbed as "Subway Superman" after rescuing a 19-year-old film student from being struck by a subway train (after he suffered a seizure and fell on the tracks), was the game's sole contestant.

After an early bad luck streak where he wiped out three six-figure amounts in his first set of draws, he had a good streak — then, a great run — of luck. In the latter stages of the game, he eliminated eight consecutive cases of $50,000 or less ... all with $1 million being the lone mega amount on the board (it had been that way since the second round). Bravely, he rejected increasing offers of $209,000 and later, $305,000.

The $305,000 offer came with three cases (including his own) left. Autrey pressed on, becoming the first contestant to have a chance at creating a 50-50 shot at the top prize; however, this "chance" did not happen, as Pilar Lastra's case 14 opened to reveal the grand prize. The audience uttered a groan yet unheard of in the studio, and his wife fainted in the supporter's section where she was standing. His final offer took the biggest single drop ever - $300,000 - to $5,000. Once that deal was rejected, Autrey (who also refused to switch cases) was left with a possible prize of $25 or $10,000. His case held $25. Mandell explained to the near-silent audience, "That's the way the game is played."

Despite the bad turn of events, the banker was generous: Chrysler rewarded Autrey with a new Jeep Patriot.
