An unexpected twist in "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire": A contestant bids farewell after the 1,000 Euro question in the latest episode.
Cologne - Monday's "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" episode promises an engaging twist: Instead of the regular RTL show, it introduces the "Gambler Special". But Martina Goebel from Lower Saxony, who sat in the hot seat, stumbles at the 1,000 Euro question. Imagine the pressure!
The high-stakes format of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire's" Gambler Special
The Gambler Special isn't for the risk-averse: Contestants can't use the four popular lifelines until the 10th question. However, if they succeed, they'll walk away with an impressive 2 million euros!
In this show, Martina successfully answers the initial questions - but falters at the 1,000 Euro question. The question: "Which item appears on one of the classic 'Monopoly' game board's corner fields?" The answer options: A) the "Niet", B) the Small "Consolation Prize", C) the "Jackpot", or D) the "Big Prize". Martina chooses C, but quickly realizes her error. "Did I mess up?", she asks host Günther Jauch, to whom she must disappointingly receive a confirmation. The correct answer, unfortunately, would have been D.
