Deal or No Deal - question

T

tanim_95

First, my apologies if this is a really dumb question...but I just can't figure it out.

Earlier tonight, I watched "Deal or No Deal" on KPNX-12 here in Phoenix (Mountain Time zone). At the end of the show, they announced that the home viewer winner is from Wyoming.

When the show aired in the Eastern & Central Time zones (an hour before airing in the Mountain Time Zone), was it the same Wyoming person that was announced as the winner? If so, how can this be if the show had not aired in Wyoming at that point? Could it be that the winner was watching an Eastern or Central NBC affiliate via satellite?

And if that's the case...does it mean that you have to be watching an Eastern or Central NBC affiliate in order to win?

No.

NBC is running three separate home-viewer contests with each episode of "Deal Or No Deal". One is for the Eastern and Central time zones, the second is for the Mountain time zone, and the third is for the Pacific time zone (viewers in Alaska and Hawaii can't enter).

If you want to play in the final night of the home-viewer contest tonight (December 23rd), you'll have a better chance to win because you won't have to compete against viewers in more populous time zones.
