* Tim Shields and Ed Toutant could be considered the comeback kings of this game. Both contestants lost on their $16,000 questions on their initial appearances, but were invited back due to faults discovered with their losing questions. Both of them went on to see the million-dollar question. Tim walked away with $500,000 after being unable to identify the last word of the Old Testament, but Ed won the million after knowing that [=WW2=] soldiers used the first commercial aerosol cans to hold insecticide.

* 17-19 January 2000: Only once before had someone winning £250,000 on 4th September 1999. Three contestants in a row won at least £250,000. First, [[https://youtu.be/zX9xS7oNXgA David Neale]], who first used at lifeline at the £16,000 question, but reached £250,000 with 2 lifelines left, but, used them both and still walked away with £250,000 and became the second person to do so. Unfortunately he would’ve won £500,000, if he had gone with his guess. Next, it was [[https://youtu.be/tcmnveCMYlI Peter Lee]], who first used at lifeline at the £4,000 question, but, reached to £125,000 with 2 lifelines left. He used both lifelines and went with the answer that Derik and Peter were leaning towards to and won ANOTHER £250,000!!! You may have thought he was going to walk away with £250,000 because he is now out of lifelines, but, he knew the answer to the question worth £500,000, and risks it, and became the first person to win £500,000!!! He now decides to walk away with £500,000 because the other questions he was about 90-95% sure, but, not the £1,000,000 question. Finally, [[https://youtu.be/Fuz1u2gnKuk Margaret Whittaker]], reached to £32,000 with all 3 lifelines left, she used Ask the Audience on the £64,000 question, 50:50 on £125,000, and Phone a Friend on £250,000, and thanks to her friend Ronda, Margaret just won £250,000! She delighted to take £250,000 and run and became the first woman to win £250,000, after only one woman (Sylvia Nixon in the Christmas Special) won £125,000. Two records in a row had been broken.
* [[https://youtu.be/nZbuozNZ6Lo 4 November 2000]]: contestant was going for £64,000 with all three lifelines intact. His question was, "What was the name of Woody Allen's 1998 film featuring Leonardo [=DiCaprio=]" A. Everybody Says I Love You, B. Deconstructing Henry, C. Celebrity, D. Sweet and Lowdown. He started by using his Phone a Friend, who said "B", then used 50:50, eliminating A and D.

They would’ve been seven questions and would’ve won £500,000, if they had with James's guess. But, it was just a guess, so they wouldn’t want to risk losing £218,000.
* 24 April 2004: [[https://youtu.be/fWOQGZ0GpWI Pat Gibson]] who became the fourth person to win £1,000,000, became the only U.K. to keep two lifelines for the £1,000,000 question. He even knew the answer to the £1,000,000 question, even though he used the two remaining lifelines. He was calm through out the game, and brave (especially at the £32,000 question). He was the next contestant after [[https://youtu.be/uf6fl3XIDzU Bill Copland]] who went home with nothing.

* Baseball player Tsuyoshi Shinjo was once on a celebrity edition, and prepared for the show by writing the letters A through D on four sides of a pencil. On the final question for ¥10,000,000, he rolled the pencil on his palm and it turned up C. He mulled it over, then rolled the pencil on the floor — and it turned up C ''again''. He went for it, locking in C and won.

Only one person has won on ''Super''.
