The Most Money Ever Won On Deal Or No Deal

It wasn't until Season 4 that Deal or No Deal had its first big breakthrough winner. Jessica Robinson, a 27-year-old pregnant stay-at-home mom from Utah, pulled down the top prize in the first week of the new season in 2008. Robinson had what she knew in her heart to be a winning strategy. "All along I knew I wanted to pick briefcase number four because there's soon going to be four people in our family. It just made sense," she told People. Robinson said the last thing she wanted was to make the mistake of 15 previous contestants who chose the million-dollar briefcase, only to be talked out of it by The Banker. "Honestly, if my case had $200,000 in it I would have regretted it," Robinson said. "I talked to my supporters and surprisingly, as I think back, they were crazy for telling me to go forward!"

Robinson said she planned on using the money to support her family and to take pressure off her husband. "I'm a stay-at-home mom and I know I contribute to my family, but there are times I feel I don't contribute because I'm not getting a paycheck, and at the end of the day, I'm the spender," she says. "This will take the burden off [of my husband] being the breadwinner and taking care of us." According to The Cinemaholic, the family relocated to Austin, Texas, and has since become a family of six.
