The 44-year-old street peddler got on the Thai version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," and her final answers were all right -- she won one million baht. But, the bundle of baht was not to be. Her fortune quickly turned to misfortune when the show's organizers realized she had the mother of all lifelines. Evidently, technicians got some wires crossed, and the computer monitor she was looking at not only had the questions, it had the answers too, highlighted in green. They had to do the show over again -- she won 25,000 baht in the replay.
