Marc Offenbacher faced a devastating loss of £108,000 while competing on the German edition of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? After successfully answering 12 questions and earning €64,000, he encountered a challenging question about the most common final score in men’s FIFA World Cup finals. Despite not being a football fan, Offenbacher sought assistance from the audience and used a 50:50 lifeline, which narrowed his options to 2-1 and 4-2. He ultimately selected 2-1, believing it to be the correct answer. However, this choice was incorrect, as the most common final score is actually 4-2, which has occurred in four World Cup finals. Offenbacher was left with just €500, a stark contrast to what he could have won. Reflecting on his decision, he admitted that he should have walked away earlier, acknowledging the risk he took.
