Jacek Iwaszko, who won one million PLN on the Polish game show ‘Milionerzy’ in September 2021, has discussed the psychological and financial aftermath of his victory. 

Iwaszko reported that while the win was driven by financial pressure, the subsequent responsibility of managing the windfall caused significant stress. He attempted to secure his family’s future for three generations through various investments, noting that the intense stress only began to subside approximately six months ago following the finalization of his investment strategies.
