Millionaires who are not Top Prize Winners

Some versions of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? have top prizes that are greater than 1,000,000 units of the local currency; because of this, it can lead to cases of millionaires who are not top prize winners. Millionaires who are not top prize winners generally do not receive the million pound win cue or the Confetti Drop that typically accompanies winning a million units of the local currency, and when they walk away, the screen will usually state "Total Prize Money: 1,000,000 (units of the local currency)", instead of "[Contestant's name]: Millionaire".

Robert Essig
Robert Essig, who played the Super Millionaire edition of the U.S. version of the show, answered 12 questions correctly to win $1,000,000, but is not classified as a top prize winner, since the 15th an final question was worth $10,000,000. Because of this, he did not receive the million pound win cue or the Confetti Drop that typically accompanies winning the million, and when he walked away, the screen stated "Total Prize Money: $1,000,000" instead of "Robert Essig: Millionaire".
