Cincinnati resident Clinton Smith departed the Super Millionaire television show Thursday night with $50,000 in is his pocket. Unsure of the answer to the $100,000 question, the 26-year-old office manager decided to take his money and run. A wrong answer would have left him with only $5,000.
Super Millionaire is ABC's newly revamped Who Wants to Be A Millionaire, in which contestants vie for $10 million by correctly answering 15 trivia questions posed by host Regis Philbin.
There's one more episode of the show tonight, and another Tristate resident is poised to play - Laura Opfer of Northside will be in the pool of contestants.
Tuesday night, Smith made it to the $100,000 mark before time ended, leaving viewers hanging until last night's episode. There's something in the air for local contestants - Dale Samberg of West Chester was on the first of the show's special five episodes Sunday, but failed to make it to the hot seat.
