“Millionaire” Contestant Randy Rice Wins $1,000; Donates to Locks of Love

It’s always nice to see a person fortunate to be on a show like Millionaire, where someone can win an ungodly amount of money, give back.  That’s what Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s contestants Randy Rice did.  Randy, a barista from Farmingdale, NY, came to the show with long, blonde hair.  It started as a bet that probably wouldn’t happen: Meredith Vieira asked if he won the million if she could cut his hair, which he agreed to.  However, it turned to an agreement to cut his hair if he can claim the $25,000 prize in Round One.  Randy’s foot long ponytail was sent to Locks of Love, which makes wigs for needly children who lost their hair due to medical conditions.  Sadly, though, Randy crashed on the eighth question.  He lost his bank of $51,500 and left with $1,000.  Regardless, it’s nice to see him do something for a good cause like this on television.
