In the final, held on [[16 July]] [[2006]], Sarah Lang was playing against 33-year-old Julian Sperring-Toy. Sarah had four questions right, whilst Julian only had three questions right. They went forward to do a 10-second face-off (folding). Nobody folded. The fact that Sarah subsequently won £1 million meant that Julian had lost £75,500. |

She was the ninth person to win a million pounds on British television. Exactly a year earlier on [[16 July]] [[2005]], she appeared on the [[BBC One]] [[National Lottery (United Kingdom)|National Lottery]] game show ''[[In It to Win It]]'', winning £32,500, and in 2001 appeared on ''[[Wipeout (1988 game show)|Wipeout]]'', winning £600. This gives her combined game show winnings of £1,033,100, making her one of the few known people in British television history to have won over a million pounds on television, and believed to be the biggest female UK gameshow winner ever, and second overall behind [[Ian Woodley]]. |
