Dedication, practice and passion have paid off for Peter Morton who won big on Millionaire Hot Seat last night.

On Tuesday, June 27, 70 year old Mr Morton from Altona, won $20,000 in an exciting finish.

Mr Morton who has lived in Altona for five years, said this is the first time he has ever had the chance to appear on a game show.

“This was the first game show I have participated in but I have been to a taping before.

“I went along as a spare to a previous taping of the show which prepares you for when you’re on the real thing.”

Mr Morton said it feels great to have won after all of his many years of preparation

“I am feeling pretty good right now , to prepare I usually tape the show and watch it everyday,” he said.

“I watch and listen to all the questions and answers to get a good idea of the show, I have been a fan of the show for quite some time, 10 years or so.

“I have also done the same thing with other game shows on other channels like The Chaser on Channel 7.”

Mr Morton plans on sharing his winnings with his wife, who was in the audience cheering him along.

The pair had plans to travel to England for family commitments but said plans have changed.

“She is feeling very happy, we are going to leave it in the bank and spend it slowly.”
