Limitless Win contestants scoop £75,000 by correctly answering this tricky Monopoly question but would you have got it right?
How well do you know the board game?Ant and Dec’s Limitless Win has handed over another big prize after an aunt and her nephew scooped a whopping £75,000 on the show.
The lucky pair correctly answered a difficult question about the board game Monopoly in the latest episode.
Denise and Pablo had frantically discussed what the right answer was before locking it in with just seconds left on the clock.
And even though their workings out were jumbled, they managed to guess it correctly.
But could you have got the Limitless Win Monopoly question right?
Ant and Dec’s Limitless Win: Monopoly question
Ant and Dec were joined by Denise and Pablo in the second half of Monday evening’s Limitless Win.
There is only eight years between the pair and they described themselves as more like siblings.
The contestants were thrilled when Ant and Dec revealed Denise’s 96-year-old mum, known to the entire family as Gran-gran, was in the green room watching backstage.
Gran-gran told them: “I would like you to win whatever you can. I do not want you to be greedy and be stupid and you lose.”
She went on say that she wanted Denise and Pablo to win enough cash to take her home to Jamaica, where she was born.
Once the game had started, the pair won 10 lives. This meant they could take on the Limitless Ladder.
Denise and Pablo flew through the Ladder while earning themselves another eight lives.
They then came to the £75,000 question, which was about Monopoly.
Dec read the question aloud, saying: “On a classic London Monopoly board, how many spaces that players can land on are not available for purchase?”
What is the correct answer?
It was clear straight away that Denise and Pablo had played Monopoly multiple times before.
Denise checked off the Community Chest, and Chance, suggesting to Pablo there is two of each on every side.
“Is there not two on each stretch?” she asked him. “I’m thinking two, four, six, eight. That’s Community Chest and Chance, I’m sure.
“Then the other things you can’t buy are Get Out Of Jail and Parking. Oh and Go! You can’t buy Go.”
Denise and Pablo decided to use their ‘more than’ and locked in 11, based on their workings out. They were told the exact answer is more than 11.
With 10 seconds left on the clock, the aunt and nephew used their lifeline and locked in 12 as their answer. The show then cut to a commercial break, adding to the tension in the studio!
But when they came back, it was cheers all round. Denise and Pablo had answered the question correctly. It is 12.
The non purchasable squares on a classic London Monopoly board are:
-
4 Corner squares: Go, Jail / Just Visiting, Free Parking, Go to Jail
-
3 Chance squares
-
3 Community Chest squares
-
2 tax squares: Income Tax and Luxury Tax
Denise told Ant and Dec: “On Friday night, before lockdown and Covid, we would play Monopoly. We’d call it all-nighters because we would be up from the evening all the way down to the early hours of the morning!”

Limitless Win: Denise and Pablo cash out
Denise and Pablo decided to cash out their £75,000 after hearing their next question.
Ant and Dec had asked: “How many grass tennis courts are used for the Wimbledon championships?”
Pablo felt the answer was 15, but they both decided the risk was too big to take. It was a sensible decision, as the correct answer is 18.
Denise said: “We didn’t come here with that amount of money so to have the opportunity to leave with it… that’s life-changing.”
Limitless Win fans have since reacted to Denise and Pablo’s win.
Writing on Instagram, one viewer said: “Love this family. You just wanted them to get somthing good. And they did. And like the queen said, it will change their lives. And Gran gran is defo going to Jamaica.”
Another mused: “Entirely incorrect calculation, exactly correct answer!”
And a third wrote: “Loved them!! Such a good team!”
