Stockport Quiz Whiz Wins £1M on Millionaire After Stunning Final Answer
A quiet moment in a television studio has turned into one of the most talked-about quiz victories in recent memory, as Roman Dubowski from Stockport has claimed the £1 million jackpot on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
This remarkable win makes him only the seventh person ever to take home the top prize on the long-running ITV quiz show, now hosted by Jeremy Clarkson. And what stands out most is not just the money, but the calm, almost understated way he reached the finish line.
Dubowski, a retired IT analyst with a passion for quizzing, had to fight through a tense and unpredictable game. At one point, he even relied on the audience poll for help on an early question about mayonnaise, where most viewers guided him toward the correct answer involving egg yolk. That moment of uncertainty could have ended his run, but instead it became a turning point.
From there, he steadily advanced, using lifelines strategically and trusting his instincts when it mattered most. When he finally reached the £1 million question, the atmosphere shifted completely. He was asked to identify a trademarked logo, used since the 19th century, that appeared in literature and famous artwork.

The options included well-known global brands, but Dubowski narrowed it down after recalling a painting he had seen in London. He remembered a distinctive red triangle associated with Bass Ale and even though doubt crept in, he used the 50/50 lifeline to confirm his thinking. With just two options left, he made the call.
Bass Ale was correct.
What followed was not a dramatic celebration, but something far more human. A quiet smile, a moment of disbelief and a simple reaction that he later described as unreal. He went home, made a cup of tea and let the reality settle in slowly.
Dubowski now plans to buy a house and travel, including trips to New Zealand and South America, while also sharing part of his winnings with family. Despite the life-changing prize, he has said he will continue with his local pub quiz nights, sticking to the hobby that brought him here in the first place.
