Helen-Mary McMeekan, a 65-year-old nurse from Adelaide, teamed up with Ben Quinn, 39, a dog rescuer from Byron Bay, Murray Fraser, 49, a World War I enthusiast from Yattalunga, and Monica Lenaz, 24, a paralegal from Sydney, to score the huge win against Anne Hegerty, better known as The Governess.<\/p>\n

The four went into the Final Chase with $41,000 already in the pot. Their total climbed when they reached 13 steps and triggered the Mega Money Spinner, which boosted their pool by another $100,000, leaving them with a massive $141,000 to play for.<\/p>\n
In the tense showdown, the group landed four key pushbacks against Hegerty to hold their lead and clinch the historic win.<\/p>\n
