Contestants who picked 250K or 1p first box

Can anyone remember games where the £250,000 or 1p was picked as the first box, and how much the contestant won in the end? I can remember Andy K picking the 250K first box in his game on November 30th 2005. Andy rightly wanted to just crack on and not dwell on it too much, and ultimately recovered really well, dealing at £20,000.

Buddy also took out the 250k first and won 50k, although that was largely down to a very generous offer.

Irene took it out first too and won, well, peanuts. As did eye-brow Chris and he only managed to win 1.5k.

As for the 1p, there have been quite a few.....Ottis (7k), Mad Hatter Paul (32k) and some guy called Lance who did ok. I know there are loads more too but I've momentarily forgotten them

EDIT - I've just remembered Pierre opened 1p first too - he did a pretty crap deal, too - 7k

John G on his show of 18/2/06 took out 1p for his first box but also took out the £250,000 in the first round. He ended up with £10
Edit: Raj 19/5/06 had a great start with 1p but ended up winning £1

I know, but I thought she deserved a mention as she went on to win a huge amount!

Paul joins this exclusive club of contestants who picked the £250,000 first box and demonstrates again that it is not necessarily a barrier to winning big money with his win today of 32K!
