Does anyone know which versions of DOND have actually won the jackpot, and did they alter the format after it had been won?

I know the the original top prize of the French version (€500,000) was won several times!

They increased it to €1,000,000 last year, I don't think it has been won yet.

The Kapamilya had a 2 million win, but it was a bit of a fix as it happened on the 31st.

The only ones I can think of are the ones mentioned above - one win in the Phillippines, one in Australia and several in France. I suspect there has been at least one in Italy given that it is very similar in format to the French version (lots of swaps, rubbish offers and a Banker who knows where the money is) but has been running longer, but I don't know of any.

The biggest win in the history of the format was not a jackpot win at all but came courtesy of a Deal; €1,495,000, won by contestant Helma on Miljoenenjacht in November 2005. She Dealt with four cases left: €1,000, €75,000, €2,500,000 and €5,000,000. She immediately hit the top prize with the first pick of the proveout, and had just €1,000 all along.

Just remembered - two jackpot wins on the Mexican daytime edition for 1m peso. Including the only example I'm aware of where someone SWAPPED for the top prize!

I think it's safe to say we can now add this country to the list:

United Kingdom!

Good point, JR. We're still waiting for these 3: Canada, Quebec, and of course, USA. Might be a while before we have a millionaire on the USA version, though. And Canada's version is only set to last 5 episodes. However, the Quebec version, Le Banquier (The Banker), which I'll be able to watch because I live in Quebec, will be on for 20 episodes. Top prize on that one is $250,000; on the Canadian version, it's $1,000,000.

Also, add Spain, who have apparently had five top prize wins in its 700+ episodes.

When the original jackpot prize was €500,000 in A Prendre Ou A Laisser, it has apparently been won 5 times, including the one back on November 29, 2005. (According to a site that used to be on apoal.net)

However, A few of the episodes had the Joker valued at €550,000 (€25,000 times # of contestants getting the Joker Question right), which makes that the jackpot, above the "normal" jackpot prize.

I am unsure what episodes did have the Joker valued at the higher amount though.

In Affari Tuoi (Italian version), the €500,000 jackpot has been hit at least twice (likely three times now):

According to Italian Wikipedia (if I read it correctly):
February x, 2004 - Roberto Pepi from Sicilia region
April 17, 2006 - Vincenzo de Paola from Molise region
May 9, 2007(?) - ???

The €1,000,000 jackpot (occurs in a few of the episodes) has been won at least once:

According to Italian Wikipedia (if I read it correctly):
April 7, 2006 - Maria Giulia Tullo from Molise region

Perhaps any readers from Italy or France can add to that or clarify/correct the list.

Do Netherland's deal or no deal had a contestant that had 5,000,000 euros in his case? I wonder if this is the case he may have blown the chance to become the biggest winner in the entire deal or no deal history!!!!

Found a video with a tidbit of Roberto Pepi who was apparently the first winner of the €500,000 in Affari Tuoi.

That said, he *did* swap his original box #17, to #7 at some point in his game, and the #7 was indeed lucky #7 for him.

I am not sure about the other winners of the €500,000 if they did bring it out themselves, or if they did swap for it at some point.

Someone won the top prize of 500,000€ This evening on A Prendre ou a Laisser! it was a great game to watch!

Indeed it was, though it was fairly obvious from early on that she had a huge sum in her box. Still, very brave and got the rewards for it.

She was from my region!
