Sikh wins 250,000 pounds in British TV game show

Roop Singh was joined in the programme, which is also called Dream Factory, by his wife and one of his daughters.

“The night before my game, my daughter quite innocently said ‘Dad, I want confetti',” Roop said after winning the game.

“When I was offered 46,000 pounds, all I could think of was ‘Dad, I want confetti' and I said ‘No Deal'. I still cannot fully remember what happened next but I do remember the confetti and everyone hugging and congratulating me,” he added.

With 250,000 pounds in one box and 500 pounds in the other, the Dream Factory waited with bated breath as Noel revealed the contents of Roop Singh's box.

The confetti fell and the Dream Factory erupted in celebration as the quarter million was shown to be in Roop Singh's box, but the game was still not complete.
