Contestant's Big Win
A contestant on Lee Mack's quiz show, The 1% Club, won a substantial £98k prize money on a recent episode. However, despite the victory, the contestant is yet to receive the winnings from ITV.
Delayed Gratification
The episode where Hillal Sanderson clinched the impressive prize was filmed five months ago, but she hasn't seen a penny of her winnings yet. The delay in receiving the cash prize has left Hillal waiting eagerly for her well-deserved reward.
Patience is Key
Hillal explained that the process of receiving the winnings was made clear to her from the beginning. She mentioned that contestants are informed that they will only receive their winnings 30 days after the episode airs, which has left her waiting patiently for her prize.
Plans for the Prize Money
Despite the delay, Hillal has been making plans for her £98k prize. She expressed her intention to use the money wisely, possibly for a few holidays over the next few years. Additionally, she shared her desire to pay for a tour of the EastEnders set, even jokingly considering a "bribe" to secure a private tour.
Viewing Party Surprise
When the episode aired, Hillal had a viewing party with her family who were unaware of her appearance on the show. She described the experience of keeping her win a secret while watching the episode with her family, highlighting the excitement and difficulty of maintaining composure.
Despite the delay in receiving her winnings, Hillal remains excited about her big win and looks forward to the moment when she can finally enjoy her prize money.
The 1% Club airs on Saturdays at 8.30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
