Game show contestants Taha and Abdullah Özgür Aksu experienced opposite outcomes on “Var Mısın Yok Musun” on ATV, where Taha secured 1,075,000 TL by accepting a bank offer, while Özgür walked away with only 5 TL after rejecting offers of 395,000 TL and 830,000 TL.
How did Taha win 1,075,000 TL?
Taha secured a payout of 1,075,000 TL by choosing to accept the bank’s offer rather than risking his remaining boxes. According to reports from Takvim, the tension peaked when host Esra Erol asked Taha what he would do if 2 million TL appeared in his box. Taha admitted he might be slightly saddened by that outcome but remained firm in his decision to take the guaranteed money.
When Taha finally opened box number 11, it contained 500,000 TL. This revealed that his decision to stop at the 1,075,000 TL offer was the mathematically correct move for maximizing his gain.
Why did Abdullah Özgür Aksu lose 830,000 TL?
Abdullah Özgür Aksu failed to secure a significant prize after repeatedly rejecting the bank’s offers in pursuit of the grand prize. According to Takvim, Özgür first turned down an offer of 395,000 TL. He made this decision after a phone call with his wife, Sena Aksu, who told him it would be no problem even if he won nothing.
The risk increased when the bank raised its offer to 830,000 TL. Despite admitting that such a sum of money had never been in his hands before, Özgür chose to continue playing. He stated that his goal was not just the money, but reaching a specific target on the prize board.
The final result for Özgür
Throughout the game, Özgür explicitly stated that his biggest fear was finding the lowest possible amount. He told the studio, “Just let 5 TL not come out of my box.” However, the final reveal showed exactly 5 TL in his box, resulting in the loss of the 395,000 TL and 830,000 TL offers he previously declined.
Comparing the two strategies: Risk vs. Reward
The contrast between the two contestants highlights the volatility of the “Deal or No Deal” format. While Taha used analysis and stopped at a guaranteed million, Özgür prioritized the “dream” of the grand prize over concrete offers.
| Contestant | Highest Offer Rejected | Final Amount Won |
|---|---|---|
| Taha | N/A (Accepted Offer) | 1,075,000 TL |
| Abdullah Özgür Aksu | 830,000 TL | 5 TL |
