For the first time in 14 years, a lucky contestant walked away from Who wants to be a millionaire with the big jackpot.
Lucky winner Donald Fear, who has been rated by fans on social media as “the greatest player of all time,” scrutinized the questions without a hitch, making the rest of us wish we had paid more attention to the school, and he’s now officially a millionaire.
Donald, who is a professor of history and politics, is not the only smart one in his family, as when he reached the £ 1,000 lifeline, host Jeremy Clarkson revealed that Donald’s brother had been on the show previously and was it was with a very impressive 500,000 pounds.

He set a very high bar, which the new millionaire got through without a hitch, just using ONE life preserver to get him to £ 32, ooo.
Clarkson revealed last month that there would be a contestant who would make it to the end of this series.
He said he was “excited” for Donald.
“I can’t wait for viewers to see it and I want to see it again as well. I was in awe of this contestant and I think it’s probably the best show I’ve had in its 22-year history. It’s a pleasure to sit back and watch it unfold.” Clarkson explained.

“It felt like we had swiftly passed 15 questions and all of a sudden the confetti was falling from the ceiling and I was like, ‘You just won a million pounds.’ I wasn’t sure I could utter those six immortal words and I’m not ashamed to say it. It was a bit emotional, but wow, it felt good. ”
It was certainly nice to watch, with Clarkson revealing before the final question that people from other productions had started coming into the studio to watch.

Speaking of that last question: “In 1718, what pirate died in battle off the coast of what is now North Carolina?? “
Obviously, Donald knew the answer was Blackbeard because he taught Piracy to a class of Year 8 students at school. seeIf we had paid more attention during the Year 8 history lessons, we too could be millionaires.
