Millionaire winner 'invested prize money in cannabis farm'
Ananova | 3.12.2004

A winner on the Austrian version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? has been arrested after he allegedly invested his prize money in a cannabis farm.

The unemployed man from Lower Austria won more than £100,000 on the show last May.

But instead of going on a dream holiday or buying his own home, the 29-year-old allegedly decided to build on the small fortune by mass producing cannabis.

Together with his girlfriend the man, who has not been named for legal reasons, rented a property in the capital Vienna in which to grow the plants.

Police, who caught the Millionaire winner as he made a delivery to a customer, said he had managed to harvest at least ten batches worth around £68,000.

seems strange to me that everyone thinks this was a good idea, when i'm sure that the guy that is sitting in jail thinks it was not such a good idea. The whole point is NOT GETTING CAUGHT! duh!

This show has a lot of problems:

Austrian TV admits 'Millionaire' question mistake

A candidate on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? in Austria lost after being offered four false answers.

Peter Prinz managed to get to the 15,000 euro question, worth about £9,280.

He was then asked which swimmer had won silver in the 1952 Olympics. None of the answers offered was right. Mr Prinz has been invited back on the show.
