The final episode of ITV's Win Win with Postcode Lottery airs tonight, with one contestant walking away with £1 million and a range of additional prizes.
Each week, contestants who won their round have faced a choice: take the prize they have won or take a seat on Millionaire's Row for a chance to win the jackpot and all the prizes accumulated throughout the competition.
Presenters on the 'overwhelming' finale
Ahead of the series finale, presenters Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins shared their thoughts on the upcoming winner reveal. Mel described the feeling as a mixture of "sweat, adrenaline and excitement," while Sue emphasised the stakes for the players.
Mel commented: "One of those people will win that; it's mind-blowing. Remembering back to the final of last series, the atmosphere was very tense." At the same time, Sue added: "Yeah, much quieter. People are serious about it.
"And I think people then think about their choices. Should I have traded? Should I have taken the prize? It gets to the really sharp end of the business. It's just overwhelming when somebody wins because you're not only winning the cash, you're winning all those holidays."
Last year's winner and what's at stake
Sue also noted the scale of the prizes, saying: "Enough holidays to last you a lifetime, really. We'll be coming on most of them. I don't think people got the T's and C's that we were coming on, did they? They should have done; we'll be there."
Last year, ITV viewers saw Sienna McSwiggan take home the jackpot. She also won two cars, two luxury holidays, a trip to Australia to see The Ashes, and tickets to see Take That in concert. At the time, she had only £1 in her bank account before receiving the life-changing money.
Sharing a video on TikTok at the time, telling her mum she had become a millionaire, Sienna said: "Telling my mum who has gone through so much that I've won a million pounds on a TV show is the best feeling in the entire world."
Speaking about the previous winner, Mel said: "We caught up with her this year, and good news, she is super steady, sensible, doing all the right things. So, it was a great night actually." Sue added: "You do worry a bit. You think this is going to just spin them out of orbit, but she's a smart one, and she's just really enjoying the money."
The final of Win Win with Postcode Lottery airs on ITV1 tonight, October 31, at 7.30pm.
