In a nail-biting showdown that will go down in Aussie game show history, a team of four everyday Aussies has snagged the biggest cash prize ever awarded on “The Chase Australia.” Alina Stone, Lauren Huynh, Matt Allen, and Nick Whatman faced off against the formidable “Tiger Mum” Chaser, proving that brains and teamwork can conquer even the fiercest competition.

Starting strong, the team racked up a respectable $29,000 in the cash builder round. But their fortunes truly changed when they unlocked the Mega Money Spinner, a high-stakes gamble that can either significantly boost a team’s winnings or send them home empty-handed. Luckily for Alina, Lauren, Matt, and Nick, the spinner landed in their favor, setting the stage for a potentially massive payday.

When the clock ran out, the team had secured a record-breaking $129,000, a truly stunning victory.
