Two Australian contestants have missed out on around NZ$500,000 prize money after getting an extremely easy question about New Zealand wrong in a TV show.
Jess and Lee were contestants on Channel Seven's Tuesday night episode of The WALL , when they failed to answer 'What is the capital city of New Zealand?', a question all Kiwis and most Australians should know.
These were their options for answers: Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington and Queenstown.
However, tragedy then struck twice as Jess first preferred Auckland, before Lee locked in their final answer as ...Christchurch.
Moments later panic mode hit, as host Axle Whitehead announced the answer was "C - Wellington", with Jess unable to control herself, exclaiming, "Oh! No way!".
Their potential winnings of $520,000 at that moment dropped ...to $0.
