Tipping Point fans were delighted as a player on the latest episode got lucky and won the jackpot counter in a nail-biting near miss.
Friday’s episode of the ITV quiz show welcomed train driver Dan from Hull alongside three other contestants.
Pinning his hopes on winning enough money to take his girlfriend to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando, Florida, Dan saw off the other players to advance through to the final round.
After amassing a total of £2,300, Dan was left with his final counter to player and everything to lose when he struck lucky.
With his final counter, the jammy dodger shifted a number of counters including the illusive jackpot coin – netting him the total £10,000 jackpot to go home with.
Dan’s lucky drop also spared him the decision of going to a trade and Tipping Point fans were delighted.
One viewer wrote: “Well played, Dan!”
Another commented: “Yesssssss proper chuffed for Dan.”
Meanwhile, a third said: “Always good to see a winner and he’s giving his mum the flowers. Nice man.”

A fourth viewer replied: “Yes, Dan, I actually punched the air.”
“Wow, Dan, you’re quite the man, aren’t you? All that punting got you the big £10K, you lucky boy!” Another concluded.
After winning the jackpot, Dan looked delighted.
“I can’t believe it,” he told Tipping Point host Ben Shephard who seemed equally chuffed.
“Dan, you nailed it,” Ben said. “How does that feel?”

Dan replied: “Fantastic. I’m going to go learn all these spells in Harry Potter world.”
Congratulating Dan’s achievement, Ben concluded: “You’ve played a fabulous game; absolutely wonderful all the way through.
“Well done, mate.”
As well as £10,000, Dan walked away with a flower subscription, which he vowed to gift forward to his mother.
Tipping Point airs from 4pm on weekdays on ITV.
