That bugged me too. I've watched too much TNG not to cringe when the captain leaves the bridge. But what to you expect? You went to a Hollywood movie and got a Hollywood ending.

What altitude? Lake Nicaragua is only 100 ft above sea level and drains to the Atlantic via the San Juan River. That leaves only a narrow isthmus to the Pacific Ocean to overcome, which has plenty of viable routes. It doesn't have to cut across the main part of the country. The Nicaragua Canal is a viable option that has been explored since the 1900s.
No, the $11 million would have been the prize the next time the jackpot was awarded, not the next play. You aren't awarded the jackpot every play. Still the $11,000,600 number was an error. It should have displayed $600 which was the correct reset value. This couple won $1600, plain and simple.
I'm not sure which manufacturer this game was on, but evidently the display sequence showed four things to the screen after they won:
1) The word JACKPOT
2) The prize just won, ie $1600
3) The word CURRENT
4) The next prize reset value, in this case $11,000,600 although it should have said $600
So while there was definitely a malfunction there was no ambiguity that they didn't win that much money. Their prize was the $1600.
Somebody's already way ahead of you on that one.
