Lertlaks Glitched Thai Millionaire Win

In 2002, a contestant named Lertlak Panchanawaporn on the Thai version of 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire' sat in the hot seat and watched the correct answers appear on her computer screen. A technical error had routed the answer feed cable to her monitor instead of the host's, letting her pick every right option and claim the grand prize. The win was later investigated and declared invalid, and the top payout was revoked.
