Jacek Iwaszko discusses the stress following his million PLN win

Jacek Iwaszko, who won one million PLN on the Polish game show ‘Milionerzy’ on September 23, 2021, has shared the long-term psychological impact of his victory. Iwaszko secured the prize by correctly identifying January 1, 1001, as the start of the second millennium.

While the win was initially motivated by financial pressure, the responsibility of managing the windfall caused significant stress. Iwaszko noted that he approached the money with excessive rationality, attempting to secure his family's future for three generations through various investments. He stated that the intense stress only began to subside approximately six months ago, following the successful finalization of his planned investment strategies.
