Think you have to win the whole thing to get paid? Nope! Even the losers get a hefty consolation prize. If you lose in the first round, you still walk away with £55,000. That’s more than many people earn in a year.
And if you’re a lucky qualifier? You might pocket over £40,000 just for losing in the final qualifying round. That’s a pretty sweet "thanks for showing up" card.
So, a first-round exit isn't a failure. It’s a down payment on a new car. Or a very, very nice holiday.
