'Deal or No Deal Island' Winner Earns Biggest Prize in Network TV History, But Still Hasn't Received the Money

justjared.com:

The second season of Deal or No Deal Island has come to an end and the winner has received the biggest game show prize in network TV history. David Genat, who won Australian Survivor: All Stars in 2020, made a deal for $5.8 million during the season finale of Deal or No Deal Island.

In Deal or No Deal Island, briefcases are hidden around the island with more than $200 million in prize money split between them.

In each episode, players compete in daring challenges to secure the briefcases that will be used in that night’s game of “Deal or No Deal.” The winnings from each game of “Deal or No Deal” are added to a group pot that grows to an exponential value throughout the season.

The last player standing faces the Banker to potentially win the biggest prize in “Deal or No Deal” history. The final case this season had $12,232,001 inside and David kept the case in play until the very end, ultimately securing a $5.8 million deal from the Banker.
