Who Wants To Be A Millionaire contestant leaves with £500k

OHMYGOSSIP — A school teacher reached the final question on ‘Who Wants To Be a Millionaire’ last night (04.03.19) but decided against playing for £1 million.
John Robinson, 36, walked away with a £500,000 prize after opting against trying to correctly guess which former British prime minister had never served as foreign secretary.
The teacher made the right decision as he told host Jeremy Clarkson he would have incorrectly said Anthony Eden, instead of Sir Winston Churchill.
John was disappointed when he discovered his friend Martin – who he earlier rang to help him on a question about the Suez Canal – knew it was Winston but is not too upset because he knows he “needed” him for the £250,000 question.
He said: “Had I saved him for the final question, I’d be a millionaire. But I can’t be too disappointed because I needed him for the £250,000 engineering question.
“There’s a slight bit of disappointment, which I know sounds ridiculous given it’s more money than I’ve ever seen in my life.”
The competitor says he has no regrets about playing things safe and walking away with the money, as he claims he could not have “faced” speaking to his girlfriend if he had answered incorrectly and left with his banked £64,000.
He said: “I am not sure I could have faced speaking to Chloe afterwards. I don’t think she would have forgiven me.
“Having never seen that amount of money in my life, I wasn’t going to risk it. It’s not a feeling I would’ve liked to experience.”
