'Deal or No Deal' crowns fifth quarter-millionaire - video

Deal or No Deal has crowned its latest quarter-millionaire.

Nong - from Swindon, originally from Thailand - became only the fifth person ever to win the biggest prize of £250,000 on the Channel 4 gameshow.



The 21-year-old pricing analyst trainee said throughout the game that she felt that her own box contained the coveted prize.

She had received large offers from the Banker of up to £34,000. In the final round she took away two big red numbers, before the Banker offered £20,000 to buy hers.

However, she declined the offer and removed the £250 box, leaving just £5 and £250,000 left in play.

The Banker gave one more offer of £68,000, but the contestant kept her faith and declined the offer or the chance to swap boxes.

Thankfully, her huge risk paid off as host Noel Edmonds revealed that her box did indeed contain the grand prize.

Nong said: "£250,000! Wow, I still can't believe it, it feels like a dream! Out of all the people on Deal or No Deal, never in a million years would I have thought I'd take that risk and win the jackpot.

"I loved being in the Deal or No Deal bubble as everyone was so lovely and supportive and it was the entire experience that made it priceless. I really can't thank the Deal or No Deal team enough for giving me the opportunity to change my life!"

Her win comes just before the upcoming 2,000th episode of the show on Monday, August 20 on Channel 4.

She follows the previous £250,000 winner Tegen Roberts, who won the prize in September 2011.
