‘Wer wird Millionär?’ Reaches Final Question as Contestant Leaves With €500,000

RTL now pulls the quiz from its Monday slot starting April 27.

Overview

  • Tom Wollnik reached the one‑million question on Monday for the first such attempt since 2023 and chose to stop at €500,000.
  • The final prompt asked which euro coin the European Central Bank reported as least common in circulation, and the show named the 50‑cent coin as correct.
  • Device data from All Eyes On Screens showed viewers surged for the possible jackpot and many tuned away once it was clear the million would not fall.
  • Traditional TV ratings remained strong for the night, and host Günther Jauch regained viewers after commercial breaks.
  • RTL schedules a pause for the show’s regular Monday slot from April 27, replacing it with Ralf Schmitz’s new quiz ‘Die Weisheit der Vielen – Die Show des skurrilen Wissens.’
