Viewers were left amazed as a contestant on won an enormous sum after making it to the end of the competition tonight.
Matthew was shocked to hear that he had bagged the whopping amount of £99,000 by answering the very last question on the quiz show correctly.
For the cash prize, five remaining players were given an anagram and asked to rearrange letters to create a new word.
All the other contestants admitted they just submitted nonsense answers, but Matthew was the one person who actually wrote down a word and sent it in.
Much to his surprise, it turned out that he was completely right. Matthew could be seen nervously pressing his lips together as Lee prepared to reveal the answer to the question.

When Lee announced that it was elephant, which is what Matthew submitted, the contestant raised his hand in a celebratory fist pump as the crowd went wild.
Lee told him: “Congratulations Matthew! You are the winner to everything in the prize pot! That’s £99,000!”
Viewers flocked to congratulate Matthew on his monumental win. One person gushed: “Huge credit to you Matthew honestly that is sublime! Handled the pressure well, enjoy the prize.”
Another wrote: “Well done Matthew! I had all the letters but couldn’t see a word in time.” A third joked: “I would have wimped out before the 1% question. All I saw was Phant. Well done, sir.”
Only three players in the history of The 1% Club have previously won the top prize.
