‘Millionaires‘ Contestant Walks Away with PLN 125,000 After Tricky Ski Acrobatics Question
A contestant on the Polish game show “Millionaires” opted to play it safe, securing PLN 125,000 rather than risk a perhaps devastating drop to PLN 40,000 during a question worth PLN 250,000. Emil Serednicki faced the challenging sports query and ultimately decided to stop playing rather than guess.
The question asked which of four countries – Uzbekistan, Greece, India, or Jamaica – had won a medal in ski acrobatics at the winter Olympics. Serednicki, unsure of the answer, used his lifeline to call his brother David, who suggested Uzbekistan as a possible choice but expressed uncertainty. Despite the suggestion, Serednicki chose to walk away with his guaranteed winnings.
Host Hubert Urbański then revealed the correct answer: Uzbekistan. The audience audibly reacted to the news,as Uzbekistan is the only nation of those listed to have achieved a medal in the event. Serednicki expressed no regret over his decision, stating he preferred not to risk the larger sum, a sentiment Urbański acknowledged as sensible gameplay. The question highlights the niche knowledge sometimes tested on the popular program, moving beyond mainstream sports topics.
