She guesses "partums," but the answer is electric cars. So, the surprise contestant lands softly at $26,000. This winnings, she and her husband plan to invest in their family home, while the kids want to blow it on a vacation. Jauch, as she leaves, asks, "Now that you've made it to 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?' and you don't need to send out job applications anymore, what's the point of your life?"
Cheater, Cheater, Madam Gamer

She admits she's cheated before, making it to the $260,000 question on "The 1% Quiz" with Jörg Pilawa (59). "If I'd known that before, then things wouldn't have turned out this way today," the host says, pretending to be disappointed.
