A contestant on ITV's The 1% Club left host Lee Mack stunned after she asked the studio audience for advice before walking away from a potential £98,000 prize. Liz, whose dream foretold her fate, chose to take home £10,000 instead of risking it all on the final question.
The popular gameshow, hosted by comedian Lee Mack, sees 100 contestants tackle increasingly difficult questions. The final 1% challenge offers up to £100,000, but only the sharpest minds can claim the jackpot. In Saturday's episode, the prize fund reached £98,000 after many players used their passes or dropped out.
Liz, who needed the money to buy her husband a ticket to the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, revealed she had a premonition. 'I got to this point in my dream last night. I decided I wanted to take the £10,000 but something went wrong and I played the question but got it wrong,' she told Lee. Unsure whether to gamble, she asked the studio for their thoughts—a first for the show.
Taking her dream as a warning, Liz opted to leave with £10,000. The final question asked: 'If you can roll six different numbers using one standard dice, how many different totals can you make by rolling three identical standard dice?' Liz later admitted she would have answered 102, but the correct answer was 16.
Viewers praised her decision on social media, with one writing: 'Well played Liz. Respect for making the correct decision.' Another said: 'This woman who had that dream must be psychic.'
