I missed the quiz so have no idea how the player got through, but that player is a middle-aged guy named YAM I think. He has no name badge... but he does have CASE 14. Linda suggests it relates to Johan Cruyff's shirt number, but there's some other reason apparently.
Last week's €500,000 winner spreads the love - another €500,000 is given away, split across no fewer than 26 TICKETS, some holders having several. One won over €100,000!
Tonight's contestant has a five-year-old kid and met his wife Lisa via the Internet! A joke is made that was lost in translation.
ROUND 1
26 | €0.20! It's applauded! Shock!
1 | €750,000!
22 | €5!
13 | €100
16 | €2,500. Still applauded. The crowd are applauding low ones from the off at last.
18 | €75,000. The guess was €100,000!
OFFER €22,000 | NO DEAL
ROUND 2
missed | €2,500,000!
24 | €500,000
6 | €25,000
10 | €1,000
12 | €200,000
Nasty round. If €5m and €1m go we're into ugly territory.
OFFER €45,000 | NO DEAL
ROUND 3
15 | €10,000
9 | €5,000. No cheers.
23 | €400,000!
4 | €500! CORRECT GUESS FOR €12,000! Crazy old lady seems stunned.
Already this could be time to Deal.
OFFER €90,000
I can see the logic behind a Deal here, that's an awful lot of money on a somewhat unstable board - but I'd go on. Linda asks the question as Deal or No Deal, and it's NO DEAL!
ROUND 4
11 | €10!
Break!
8 | €1!
20 | €0.50!
What a round! This is now going to be a sum even Noel would call life-changing.
OFFER €250,000!
I'd be gone in a flash because I'd have little purpose for more. Linda seems to encourage Yam and Lisa to talk to each other. There's some frantic hand action there. Linda mentions the €5,000,000. €1,000,000 and €300,000 remain as backups above the offer.
Patient asking of the question. DEAL! He played it exactly how I would and he gets a great result in my book!
ROUND 5
7 | €100,000
25 | €1,000,000!
Nobody knows how to react. Offer would have gone up but maybe not by much. Yam thinks he has the €0.01.
ROUND 6
2 | €50,000. CORRECT GUESS FOR €6,000!
Offer would have gone up...
ROUND 7
missed | €300,000
And again...
ROUND 8
missed | €0.01!
Ouch... nobody's ever had €5,000,000 in their case...
ROUND 9
5 | €50!
I repeat, nobody's ever had €5,000,000 in their case... the crowd's going nuts... Linda suggests a €2,500,000 offer. 'Rub it in' she says... Banker obliges with a hypothetical €2.6m AMO.
This is memorable alright...
The other case holder thinks he's got the €5m.
Linda peeks in 14... hand over her mouth... is this it?
17 | €5,000,000!
Yam had €20 all along and STILL NOBODY HAS EVER HAD THE €5,000,000! 'Hallelujah!'
Well at least I can score it.
Case value: €20
Peak offer: €2,600,000
Prize won: €250,000
Result: TBW, 90-10
That's the last Miljoenenjacht in this short run. It probably comes back November.
