<Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> Wilcox's £ 1 million question </Td> </Tr> <P> Ingram Wilcox (born 1944) is a British quiz enthusiast who is best known for becoming the fifth and final person to win one million pounds on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? in the United Kingdom on 23 September 2006 . When he reached the million - pound question, he had already used up all his lifelines . In two previous appearances he reached the "fastest finger first" stage but did not get through . His final question was "Which boxer was famous for striking the gong in the introduction to J. Arthur Rank films?" He correctly chose Bombardier Billy Wells to win the prize . </P> <P> In March 1999 contestant Tony Kennedy was asked "Theoretically, what is the minimum number of strokes with which a tennis player can win a set?", with possible answers of 12, 24, 36, and 48 . He calculated that a player would need four shots to win a game, with six games in a set, giving an answer of 24 . This won him the £ 64,000 question . </P> <P> The Daily Mirror newspaper reported the next day, with the pun headline' Fault!', that a player could win a game without playing a shot if their opponent double - faulted on every serve . This would allow a winning set in 12 strokes, assuming the player aced each of his or her own serves . The programme acknowledged the mistake and apologised for it, but Kennedy was allowed to keep his prize money (an eventual £ 125,000). </P>
