...$30K. That sends her home w/ $17,660 cash and trip.
Well, that wraps up a magical Season 26. There weren't many Jackpot winners and/or big maingame wins, but we did have some great highlights including:
-three people sweeping the maingame (two of them went on to win their BR)
-four weeks each in Hawaii and Orlando
-four $100,000 winners
But the big highlight of all was the introduction of that MDW. One of the 13 people playing for the million was very successful in winning it -- Michelle Loewenstein. She set a new all-time winnings record w/ $1,026,080!
Their next season would begin on September 14 in Las Vegas.
