what is the highest jackpot won on pointless
Pointless The cash jackpot begins at £1,000 at the start of its run. Should it not be won at the end of a game, the amount (including any increases from Pointless answers) is rolled over to the next game and increased by £1,000, offering returning and new contestants a chance of winning a bigger cash prize. To date, the highest recorded jackpot won on the show as a result of it rolling over from previous games, was £24,750 on 8 March 2013. Once the jackpot is won, the amount is reset to £1,000. For the celebrity version, the jackpot is set at £2,500, and increases by £250 for each Pointless answer found, while special editions have the jackpot set at £5,000, and increased by £500 for each Pointless answer found; in neither version does the jackpot roll over to another show.
