Overview
- The Zocker‑Special, which aired on Sunday, May 24, featured a €2,000,000 top prize and special rules that require contestants to reach €16,000 before they may use jokers.
- An audience member, Michael Graczyk of Trebur, was chosen by two different contestants in the same episode and answered both questions correctly, earning €500 each time.
- Johannes Groß zocked up to €125,000 and then stopped after a €250,000 football question stumped him and his phone joker, leaving him the biggest winner of the night.
- Maximilian Frank struggled early, prompting visible impatience from host Günther Jauch and an on‑air neck massage, but he recovered after using the audience joker to finish with €64,000.
- Two contestants, Conway Plewka and Alexander Schachtner, lost by zockening and fell back to the €1,000 safety level, underscoring how the Zocker rules raise the stakes for risk and reward.
