Bank Job jackpot!
Thursday, 12 January 2012
Oonagh McMullan from Cushendall who won over £150,000 on The Bank Job, which was screened on Channel 4 on Saturday night.
A local woman has won over £150,000 after appearing on Channel Four's The Bank Job.
Oonagh Mc Mullan from Cushendall, dubbed the Silent Assassin on the show, made Saturday's live final after winning Thursday night's episode of the popular show.
Contestants have to answer general knowledge questions and collect money from the bank vault before timing their escape to make it through to safety.
While Oonagh came out on top in her first appearance, it looked like her luck had ran out when she was booted off mid-way through Saturday night's show.
But in a dramatic twist, she walked away with a share of over £400,000 after the last two contestants, Darragh Moran from Manchester and Londoner Michael McQueen, both attempted to steal the money from each, instead of sharing.
Their greedy decision meant they left with nothing, allowing Oonagh and the two other remaining contestants to split the jackpot of just over £450,000 in a nail biting finale.
The blonde beauty, who sparkled on screen in a silver dress, appeared visibly shocked when the result was revealed.
Earlier in the week, it was reported that she had to be treated for shock after learning she had secured a place in the final.
