Unexpected moment mum of two risks everything for life-changing jackpot on Tipping Point Australia

March 4, 2025 - 9.14am

For mum-of-two Nina, there was only one thing standing between her and $20,000 – one silver counter on Tipping Point Australia.

After flying through to the final Jackpot Round, the crowd nervously watched on as the Jackpot counter teetered on the ledge's edge.

If that counter were to tip over, Nina, 55, would win the whopping $20,000, but she had to risk everything to get there.

Catch the heart-racing moment in the video above.

With $7000 secured in the bank, host and sporting legend Todd Woodbridge made one final offer.

"You've got to give up the $7000," he made clear.

In exchange, she'd be given three counters (and three chances) to win the life-changing prize money.

She agreed and was willing to either win big or go home with absolutely nothing.

Life has been full of unpredictable moments for Nina, who had her second "miracle baby" at 49-years-old, 26 years after her first child.

But nothing prepared her for the moment that was about to follow.

"Nina, are you ready?" Todd teased.

The Jackpot counter peered over the edge as Nina played her first of three counters.

Nothing budged.

But in a heart-racing moment the unexpected happen and you can watch it all unfold right here:

Nina didn't need three counters.

Just as she was about to decide her next move, the Jackpot counter at last tipped over sending Nina into Todd's arms.

The crowd went wild chanting Nina's name.

"YOU GOT IT!" Todd cheered. "$20,000, you've caught the biggest fish of all."

This isn't the first time a contestant has risked everything to win big. Catch those incredible moments here:
