Who Wants to Be a Millionaire contestant loses 20 million VND
During a broadcast of the game show ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire’, a contestant named Ngoc Quyen lost a potential 20 million VND due to incorrect advice from the studio audience.
Facing the 10th question regarding an opera by Russian composer P. I. Tchaikovsky, Quyen opted to use the audience lifeline. Despite all three audience members selecting ‘Swan Lake’ (option C) as the correct answer, the actual correct response was ‘The Maid of Orleans’ (option A).
As a result of the incorrect choice, Quyen’s prize money dropped to the 2 million VND milestone, missing out on the 22 million VND prize she would have secured with a correct answer.
