Overview
- Heidi Aster increased her secured €32,000 to a final prize of €57,000 after returning to the hot seat and answering the €50,000 question correctly.
- Three contestants who each held €32,000 jointly declined a selection question that would have cut guarantees to €7,000, preferring to keep their safer sums.
- An 18-year-old finalist, Marco Schwarz, used his phone-a-friend joker whose brief reply led him to walk away with €20,000, while another 18-year-old, Jay Mohrenweiser, kept her €16,000 rather than risk it in the final.
- A recorded on-air exchange in which Aster told host Günther Jauch he had said “you love women with money” remains unresolved because witnesses did not confirm the remark.
- The finale drew 3.07 million viewers and a 21.4% share in the 14–49 demo, confirming the special's strong ratings and underscoring how the show's lifelines and guarantee rules shape both drama and strategy.
