After climbing through the first three rounds, the Brisbane mum had earned $2,800 in the bank plus the mystery counter prize of a $2,700 luggage to travel in style.
To take it on a trip to Eurovision, however, Kat needed to secure the $20,000 Jackpot, which only got closer and closer to reality as she sailed through the Jackpot round early.
Kat built her bank balance to an impressive $4,900 throughout and the ultimate prize was very much in sight as the Jackpot counter hung halfway over the tipping point.
The Jackpot counter was so close, yet so far from tipping over the edge. Nine
Unsurprisingly, Kat was going through a whole range of emotions.
"Are you tearing up on me?" Todd asked.
"I'm tearing up already! I never thought I'd get this far," Kat replied.
"You're about to get $20,000, I feel, and head to Eurovision," a very confident Todd told her.
But securing the win wasn't going to be as easy as it looked.
The audience chanted as the counter fell and earned her another $200 but cruelly left the Jackpot counter behind.
Todd couldn't believe it. Nine
This meant she needed another correct answer to earn more counters.
Kat needed to tackle a history question to progress: How old was Puyi when he became the final emperor of China?
Thankfully, her impeccable movie knowledge helped her answer the tough question for three more counters and three final chances at the money.
After so much suspense already, Kat – and Todd – were delighted that it only took one.
