Student wins on Deal or No Deal

Abstract

On May 5, 2007, Kristine LeMieux woke up at 2 a.m. to make her way to local auditions for the NBC prime-time game show, “Deal or No Deal. ” When her alarm went off, LeMieux considered going back to sleep, but she had a feeling that maybe she would get picked for the show. That same feeling helped the Oakland University junior secure $238,000 in a winner-take-all, battle of the sexes episode of “Deal or No Deal” that aired Feb. 4.
