you've done it!

Leah, the MINIMUM you'll be taking away from this game will be £274,000 :smt023

However, THIS Box 23 is crying out for you to become the BIGGEST WINNER EVER..

Leah, either of the top 2 amounts will create history in this game.

TRIPLE = £822,000 & BB
DOUBLE = £548,000 & BB
+£25,000 = £299,000 & BB
MONEY BACK = £274,000 & BB
-£25,000 = £274,000 & BB
HALF = £274,000 & BB
NOTHING = £274,000 & BB

Those seven options have been randomised.

You are still on to become our fist millionaire... THIS pick will tell us more.

Best of luck!

Is this really happening?
Wow...
Um, okay, so here I was tossing up whether or not to go crazy and DEAL 23 on £100k. All of a sudden, there's no question at all, and I've got a better than 50% shot of having the best result in two hundred and forty-two games!
Uh... yeah. Option 4, please. No question about that.

Two of these 7 options will, without the bonus box, give you the nest result to date.

Double or triple would also mean you become our 2nd half-millionaire.

Box 23, Option 4;

I'm gonna be honest, that's pretty funny.
Option 2 for the Bonus Box, let's see if we get it with our other shot~

The middle option. This has not been a middle of the road game, this has been somewhat incredible.

Here we go then. The last chance to sit at the top.

Bonus Box, Option 2;

To become #1 you should have picked #1.

Anyway, let us not let these extra boxes take away from the fact this has been one heck of a game and you leave with one of the biggest sums given away.. Our 6th Quarter-millionaire LEAH!

WOW.

Just wow.

You're going to want to join us next time, aren't you?

See you soon for hopefully another superb Deal or No Deal.

Not to be~
Well, if someone does manage it, I hope it comes from a more challenging game? It's hard to deny this one was maybe a little free :P
Still, that's rank #5. Sorry Will!

And... yeah. Thanks for hosting, this has been pretty sensational even if we couldn't score the half-million tonight :D

Amazing game.

Given that the jackpot in this version is effectively >40% higher than the advertised value from a pure EV perspective, that obviously changes the calculations. How much is open to question given the stakes, but once I've got £274k already, I might well actually value the extra highly but purely for charitable donations?

The platinum pot had an EV of about £400k (excluding the BB, which barring a huge Box 23 Deal was already locked in at 2-box and virtually so at 5). I'd be treating it as a £400k box, and by that measure I think both the last two offers were about right and I'd probably take the £240k.
