Contestants win largest jackpot in "Pointless" history

Two contestants on the popular BBC quiz show Pointless made history by winning the largest jackpot ever seen on the program. This exciting moment has thrilled viewers. Pointless has been a favorite among audiences since it began in 2009. The show has seen many contestants and celebrities compete for cash prizes. Hosted by Alexander Armstrong, it has maintained its popularity over the years. Richard Osman, Armstrong's former co-star, left the show in 2022. In Pointless, teams of two answer tricky questions in hopes of getting "pointless" answers, which have the lowest score. While many participants win smaller amounts, the largest prize before this recent win was £24,750, won by a father and son team in 2013. That winning pair answered a question about Enrique Iglesias’ song "Maybe." Since then, the show has made changes to its final round format. Contestants now choose from three questions in a selected category, aiming for the elusive pointless answer. After any team wins a jackpot, the prize resets to £1,000. In celebrity episodes, the jackpot starts at £2,500, and winnings go to charity. Pointless airs on BBC One on weekdays at 5:15 PM.
