Not necessarily because it could be in the other box when you have 2 boxes left and the banker could offer you a swop.........he does'nt always though.
yeah, there was a woman fairly early in the show who got 100 and something thousand, I think she was left with the £250,000 and a low amount in the last 2 boxes.
Must be really bad being in bottom 5, just think how it would feel to actually get on the show and then to walk away with 1p..but i suppose they can always say that they played it to the end and you got to give credit for that, not sure if i would be brave enough to go all the way unless i had top 3 amounts left so i know minimum would be a huge amount. I have tryed to track the amounts that have been in the numbered boxes and tryed to work out the average "best time" to deal but i think it comes down to the flick of a coin.. Wondering if lucky number boxes should be opened first or saved?
i believe he opened his own box as if i remember rightly the other amount wasnt high enough to warrent a gamble, poor bloke shame the minimum amount isnt £100 cos at least you could have a good night out, but then the game wouldnt be as exciting, oooh i love it , glad this forum is here so i know i am not the only obsessed DOND fan!!
If the previous game saw a contestants box being 250,000. Then its likely to be floating around somewhere else. eg. Its won't be in their box twice in a row unless its some sort of coincidence
