Game show contestants lose $520k after getting easy question about New Zealand wrong

Two Australian game show contestants have been left red-faced after losing $520,000 on an extremely easy question about New Zealand.

The couple were about to take home one of the highest-winning totals in Australian game show history, but failed to correctly answer: What is the capital city of New Zealand?

The contestant's face dropped in shock as 'The Wall' host Axle Whitehead announced: 'The answer was C, Wellington.'

Meaning their grand total plummeted to $0.

Gutted!
