The Newfie Millionaire

 My wife's family comes from Newfoundland, so I am sure they will appreciate the humour in this post. The spelling is my attempt to imitate the Newfie's way of speaking, which is probably way off base, but it is the best I can do

And towards the end of the program had already won 500,000 dollars.

"You've done very well so far," said Chris Tarrant,
