Trivia

 * Dante Constable's on May 5, 2006 appearance was cut short by incorrectly answering a flawed $250,000 question. The producers later discovered that his answer was also correct, so he was awarded the $250,000 and invited back to the hot seat to try for $500,000.
 * Kevin Maroney and Zach Harrison are contestants in this season, who lost $75,000 (biggest money).
 * Santina Muha is first contestant in a wheelchair.
 * Donna Lumb (on February 1, 2007 appeared) is 500th contestant, who won $1,000.
 * Frank LaSpina (on February 28, 2007 appeared) is 300th contestant, who answered the 10 questions and won $25,000.
 * In the March 2, 2007 episode, Anne Boyd was asked a bad $25,000 question, which is why she answered wrong. Producers noticed a error and invited the contestant to the studio again to appear in the anniversary episode.
