How a 'Deal or No Deal' contestant who won $500 plans to turn that into a lot more—and give it away via CNBCMakeIt
Kristen"Tex" Iniguez, a cheerleader-turned-paralegal from California, won a modest $500 on "Deal or No Deal." Now, she's asking her friends if they can help her build on that for a good cause.
So when Iniguez opened the final briefcase worth $500, she knew she'd put the total towards his memory:"I get to give away this money," she says, and"I'm going to invite everyone who came to the viewing party" to donate even more. "The thing is," she says,"I really just was so confident in my case. I thought, like, 'OK, let's just get through these big numbers because already know what's in my case. Let's just get to that case.'Her strategy was simple: Avoid picking her lucky numbers until the end,"which is what I did." And she caught some breaks along the way. After knocking off a few big numbers, some of the smaller numbers began to come off, too.
While Iniguez says she isn't disappointed that she didn't win more, she says she did learn two things about herself from the experience. First, she discovered that, unlike host and executive producer Howie Mandel, who says he'd be one of the show's"worst contestants ever" because he doesn't like to gamble with money, she's more prone to take risks.
"Of course, I would've liked to go home with more money," she says,"but that's OK. It was a game, and I took a risk." Plus, the show"made me feel awesome, and let me share my story."
