Dale Schroeder was a simple, humble man from Iowa, who ended up changing the lives of 33 people forever. Schroeder worked as a carpenter at the same company for 67 years. He grew up poor and had no wife or children of his own.
John Carpenter, the first ever $1 million winner on 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?' in November 1999, didn't use any lifelines until the final question. He then called his father not for help, but to tell him he was about to win the grand prize.
