Christoph Götzendorfer answered the all-important question correctly in 2020. To mark the 25th anniversary of the Millionenshow, the "Krone" spoke to the Upper Austrian. The father of two revealed the extent to which the sudden shower of millions changed his and his family's lives.

"Money doesn't make you happy, but it does make life a lot easier" - Christoph Götzendorfer is still pragmatic and grounded around four years after his "breakthrough" on the Millionenshow. The 40-year-old from Esternberg (Schärding district) knew the all-important answer in Armin Assinger's TV studio - namely that the name of the "Waldorf School" goes back to a cigarette factory - and took home the million euros. That was in 2020.
