Roman Dubowski, who recently won £1 million on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, has shared the book he believes helped him succeed. The retired IT analyst correctly identified Bass Ale as the logo in a Manet painting to claim the top prize, becoming only the seventh person to do so.
Dubowski recommended The A to Z of Everything: A Compendium of General Knowledge by Trevor Montague, a founder of The British Quiz Association. He also advised prospective contestants to carefully choose their “Phone a Friend” options, listen to host Jeremy Clarkson, and stay calm.
After his win, Dubowski said the experience felt “unreal” and that he needed a cup of tea to let it sink in. He plans to use the money to buy a new home with a driveway.
