A 27-year-old contestant, Vicki Heenan, will be pictured winning £250,000 pounds on the final run of the Channel 4 show in December
Channel 4 show Deal or No Deal will celebrate its ninth jackpot winner this December.
The game show's viewers will watch Scottish guide dog care assistant Vikki Heenan, battle her way through the show to take the jackpot prize on the game show this Christmas.
Vikki, who also raises money for the guide dog charity she works for said: “I felt the banker might deem me an easy target, but I was determined to prove him wrong. I hoped to win enough to redecorate my home, finish the garden and buy a wood-burning stove. Winning the jackpot is more than I could have ever imagined and I’m over the moon. I may even get a field and my own highland cow!”
Deal Or No Deal, which has been airing since 2005, and is presented by Noel Edmonds, shows contestants opening a series of boxes, which are filled with different amounts of money.
