Cologne's Ronald Tenholte (35), owner of a juice and smoothie bar, has in the RTL show "Who wants to be a millionaire?" cleared. On Tuesday evening he became a new millionaire with Günther Jauch (63). His million dollar question: "The classic, standardized EPAL 1 Euro pallet consists of 78 nails, nine blocks and a total of how many boards?" A: nine, B: ten, C: eleven, D: twelve (correct answer C).
Tenholte puzzled and revealed to moderator Jauch that he received goods on Euro pallets in his shop and unloaded them himself. In the end, he committed himself to eleven boards and won the main prize. According to the broadcaster, the 35-year-old is the tenth regular millionaire (including all specials there are 16 millionaires). The last regular million in the show was on December 7, 2015, when doctoral student and event organizer Leon Windscheid answered all 15 questions correctly.
The winner intends to do this with the money
Ronald Tenholte, who on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" (here at TVNOW) only played with three jokers, said after winning in the RTL interview that his recipe for success included three things: good preparation, willingness to take risks and luck. He also revealed what he was going to do with the money: "The wedding with my fiance Nora is coming up. Of course, such a profit takes some pressure off, because you know that you now have financial resources. Our greatest wish would be in the mountains to marry because we are really forest, meadow and mountain children. Part of this profit will be used for this. "
He also wanted to treat himself to a reward: "An electric car plays a big role in my head." He will continue to operate his juice bar, he said: "This is my baby, which I have raised for more than five years and of course I don't want to leave that overnight."
