Ex-Bettendorf man, fiancee, win $16,000 on 'Millionaire'

Chris Bowker, formerly of Bettendorf, and his fiancee, Elizabeth Alexander, walked away with $16,000 in winnings on today’s “Wedding Week” episode on “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.”

The Yorkville, Ill., couple started in the hot seat on Wednesday’s show, making it up to the $16,000 question. They continued as holdover contestants for Thursday’s show, when they began by looking at the $25,000 question with two lifelines left, both of which they used.

The question was: “Which of the following is made by a zymurgist?

A) steel,

B) explosives,

C) glass,

D) beer.

” After using the “Phone-A-Friend” lifeline, they were not able to come up with a definitive answer. After using the “50-50,” they were left with “A” and “D” as options. Out of lifelines and unsure of the answer, Elizabeth and Chris decided not to take a guess and walk away with the guaranteed $16,000 that they had already won. If they had guessed incorrectly on the $25,000 question, they would have fallen back to $1,000 in winnings.

The correct answer, by the way, is D) beer.
