Andrew Brenner sent the following....On the first $200,000 prize, Vince McMahon violated rule #5 of his Million Dollar Mania giveaway:
"Only one (1) attempt will be made to reach an entrant with respect to any particular prize."
The first winner hung up on McMahon, and then McMahon made a second call to the same number in violation of the contest rules.
****
Note from Mike: I just went back and watched the segment and it appeared it was actually McMahon who disconnected the entrant upon his first try at calling him, not realizing that his musical ring tone was in fact, the entrant's phone ringing. You could hear the entrant answering the phone when McMahon disconnected and re-dialed. Whether that would count as a violation of the rules, when McMahon himself appeared to be at fault on live television, I can't tell you.
