A contestant on ITV's popular quiz show The 1% Club has secured a £10,000 prize after heeding a vivid dream that cautioned her against risking her winnings. Liz, appearing on the Lee Mack-hosted programme, made a strategic decision inspired by nocturnal intuition, sparking widespread discussion among viewers.
The Dream That Guided Her Choice
During Saturday night's episode, Liz progressed through the challenging questions to become the sole finalist eligible for the £100,000 jackpot. However, when presented with the ultimate puzzle, she recalled a dream from the previous night that depicted a scenario where she lost everything by playing for the full amount.
'It's very weird, Lee, because I got to this point in my dream last night, and then I decided I wanted to take the ten,' Liz explained to host Lee Mack. 'But something went really wrong, and I ended up playing for the full money, and then I didn't know the answer.'
The Final Question That Stumped Many
The question Liz avoided asked: 'If you can roll six different numbers using one standard die, how many different totals can you make by rolling three identical standard dice?' The correct answer is 16, but Liz admitted her guess would have been 102, highlighting the complexity that led her to trust her dream's warning.
In a historic moment for the show, Liz consulted the 99 eliminated contestants for advice before announcing her decision to take the £10,000. She revealed plans to use her winnings to buy her husband a ticket to the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, adding a personal touch to her victory.
Viewer Reactions and Social Media Buzz
The episode ignited lively reactions on social media platform X, with many viewers amazed by the dream's accuracy. User DavidJosephLaw2 commented, 'No way her dream came true,' while WhoPotterVian suggested, 'This woman who had that dream must be psychic.' Others, like Imtherealanon, praised Liz for 'making the correct decision,' and Erasmo2058 applauded, 'Well done that lass.'
However, some viewers expressed disappointment, claiming the final question was too straightforward. Ganim_chris described it as 'the easiest 1% question of all time,' and industriaditat asserted it took 'about 2 seconds' to solve. Deank06 agreed, noting, 'That was easy I thought,' with orca_chaser echoing that it seemed 'way too easy for a 1% question.'
Recent Winners and Show Context
Earlier this year, teacher Maccisha made headlines by becoming the first contestant to win the full £100,000 jackpot, answering a numerical sequence question in just 30 seconds. In December, Liverpool law student Lucie Alcock also secured £100,000 on the spin-off show The 1% Club Rollover, solving a tricky alphabetical puzzle that social media users dubbed 'impossible.'
Lucie's win marked her as the first non-celebrity winner since Clarke Carlisle's charity victory in June last year. These successes underscore the show's appeal and the high stakes involved in its cerebral challenges.
Looking Ahead
The 1% Club continues to captivate audiences with its blend of intellect and intuition. The show returns to ITV1 and ITVX on Saturday, February 14, at 8:30pm, promising more thrilling moments and potential life-changing prizes for contestants brave enough to test their knowledge against the odds.
