Remember the '90s? Is that your final answer?!

That coming-of-age decade for many Penn State students really wasn't all that long ago, but when you're in the hot seat being grilled on a special "Remembering the '90s" edition of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, selective amnesia sounds about right. Lauren Ambrose (junior-psychology) played it cool under pressure, and managed to navigate her way up the ladder toward the coveted million-dollar jackpot -- but, for legal reasons, just how far she won't say.

"I definitely won a s***load of loot, so I'm happy," she said.

In order not to spoil the outcome of episodes, contestants sign confidentiality agreements with ABC. Violators forfeit all winnings, and thus are rare. The rest of America can find out just how much Ambrose won when her episode airs at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow.

For Ambrose, instinct played a big part in the whole experience. She and her boyfriend made the trip to New York to be audience members. Both then took a Scantron-style test that is used to select players.

Ambrose confessed that compared to other contestants, she didn't know a whole lot, and took many wild guesses on her test. But when results came in, it was Ambrose who progressed to the interview, and it wasn't long before she had secured a spot on-air to try for the million. Initially, her boyfriend wasn't pleased.

"Oh my God, he was so jealous at first," Ambrose said.

Her instincts were strong enough to carry her through the early rounds of questions.

"My strategy was just not to second guess myself," she said.

While armchair critics might cringe and holler at these tactics, Ambrose doesn't feel that she played recklessly. As she inched closer toward the top, she said she made good use of the options available to her: the show's three allotted "lifelines."

"I didn't waste any of my lifelines," she said. "I think I used them in the right spots."

And to finish off her run for the money, Ambrose made perhaps the smartest move -- she walked away. With plans to purchase a TV and car, not to mention paying for school, Ambrose is laughing all the way to the bank.

She's not the only Penn State student whose sex appeal just jumped through the roof, however. Grant Yochim (junior-telecommunications) might be appearing on a new version of the show, Super Millionaire, which has been airing this week in an attempt to increase ratings during February sweeps month. Networks typically pull out all the stops at this time, competing for viewers as the season draws to a close.

"We're in Super Millionaire hell right now," ABC publicist Tatiana Garland said.

And as if the jacked up $10 million top prize weren't enough, the network is also boasting the return of original host Regis Philbin, who might pose a more intimidating figure than the usual Meredith Vieira of The View.

Yochim said he phoned into the show and correctly answered "fastest finger" questions using his handset. At the time he was interviewed, he was scheduled to go to New York, where he may or may not be chosen to remain for at least five days for tapings of the show.

"If they're gonna tell me I'll get on [TV], then I'll skip class," he said.

Since he's not guaranteed that opportunity, Yochim said he isn't getting his hopes up, but still has some plans in case he comes away with his own load.

"I'll probably have a pig roast every night if I win," he said.
