You’d be amazed to know that Donald Fear had three lifelines left. The fifteenth question asked was, “In 1718, which pirate died in battle off the coast of what is now North Carolina?” The options give were “Calico Jack, Blackbeard, Bartholomew Roberts and Captain Kidd” and the answer that helped him win the jackpot was “Blackbeard”.

Donald Fear shared on he felt and what were his thoughts when he saw the fifteenth question came up. He was quoted as saying, “What did I feel when the million pound question came up? ‘I know the answer. I’m just going to go for it’. So the thought ‘my God I am on the tight rope here with an awful long drop below’, that never occurred to me. It was a simple question and most history teachers worth their salt would know the answer even though it is not part of the curriculum. That was one of the easier million pound questions,” reports Mirror. Heartiest congratulations to Donald Fear for this big win!
