If winning game shows was a magazine, Dean Cartechini would be its centrefold! It was the 17th of June 2004 when Dean risked $102,500 to open his own briefcase. Dean could have left with either $5 or $200,000... these choices are the quintessential stuff of 'Deal Or No Deal'!

Our plucky salesman was convinced that he had the big one, and was prepared to put his money where his mouth was. Despite the risk, Dean became the first player in Deal history to walk away with the show's top prize. Not bad for a guy who said he was happy to leave with $20,000!
