Major Wins Third TV Million
<p>
<p>An Army officer last night became the third contestant to win the top prize on British "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? "</p>
<p> Major Charles Ingram hit the jackpot when asked: "What is the name of a number that is a one followed by 100 zeros?"</p>
<p> Charles, a dad of three from Wiltshire, correctly answered "googol" to land the cash on Chris Tarrant's hit ITV quiz.</p>
<p> The show will be screened next Tuesday.</p>
<p> Yet earlier the audience had gasped as he floundered on questions.</p>
<p> He used his Phone A Friend and Ask The Audience lifelines as he struggled to reach￡4,000.</p>
<p> Audience member Andrew Silke, 22, said: "He kept changing his mind and going through all the answers.</p>
<p> "His wife was watching and she had been on the show in a previous series. He kept saying he wanted to equal the￡32,000 she got."</p>
<p> A source at Elstree Studios in Borehamwood, Herts, confirmed the win, saying: "There is a massive security clampdown."</p>
<p> Charles dashed straight home after collecting his cheque.</p>
<p> A source at the after-show party said: "I asked someone why the winner wasn't joining us for a drink.</p>
<p> "He said it was because he had to be at work in the morning and drop his kids at school."</p>
<p> The previous winners were Judith Keppel, a distant cousin of Camilla Parker Bowles, and teacher David Edwards.</p>
