Very few people win the big jackpot prize of $1,000,000.Even on NBC's regrettably short-lived 1970's game show "Jackpot"(with Geoff Edwards as host and Don Pardo as announcer)only gave away its' top prize of $50,000 (pretty big back then,money wise)once.They changed the top prize to $5000 when they changed time slots. Today,when the shows promise $1,000,000 as the top prize("Wheel of Fortune","Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader:The FOX network version","Who wants to Be A Millionaire"the nighttime version with Regis Philbin(the daytime version with Meredith Viera never has-or has it?),the short-lived "The Power of 10",only gave away the million once -or maybe a few times.Has anyone noticed that?

Oh,I forgot to add:Know of any OTHER game shows over the past 10 years that promised big money prizes but failed to deliver?
