The Amazing Race champs Meghan Rickey and her boyfriend, Cheyne Whitney accepted their $1 million prize on The Early Show Monday. The San Diego couple won the 15th edition of the Emmy Award-winning game show, which has contestants racing around the world while collecting clues and completing tasks. In the finale, televised Sunday, they beat two other couples to the finish line by being quickest to count out $1 million worth of chips at a Las Vegas casino.

Gay bickering brothers Dan and Sam McMillen came in second place. Ericka Dunlap, former Miss America 2004, and her husband, Brian Kleinschmidt, finished third.
