Rafa Castaño managed to successfully complete his rosco this Thursday and take the 2,272,000 euros that were at stake. The Sevillian has made history after winning the biggest jackpot delivered by Pass word. Never before had a contestant won a prize of such an amount.
This Friday, therefore, the contest of Antena 3 will welcome two new contestants who will fight for a new jackpot. The large numbers of recent months are over, but fortunately the award will start with a good cushion of euros, something that did not happen during the format stage on Telecinco.
The third pot of ‘Pasapalabra’ in A3 will start with another 100,000 euros
The usual thing until the current stage was that the new boats started with 6,000 euros, that is, the same amount with which its value increases daily. However, it is true that on occasion, the jackpot was reset with a jackpot.
In 2019, for example, after Fran González took over the boat, Telecinco programmed The Pasapalabra academy, a series of special shows that featured 16 of the best contestants in the show’s history. Antonio Ruiz from Murcia won the competition with 22 hits in his final rosco. The contestant could not win the €100,000 jackpot, but he pocketed 60,000 euros as the winner. The remaining 40,000 euros went to swell the contest pot from Telecinco that a day later started a new stage with another historic contestant, Jero Hernández.
This is precisely an aspect that has improved substantially in this new stage. The Atresmedia chain has significantly raised the starting jackpot to 100,000 euros; something that logically the new applicants for contestants do not stop thanking.
Since his return to Antena 3, Pass word has delivered three boats: Pablo Díaz (07/01/2021), Sofía Álvarez de Eulate (09/27/2021) and Rafa Castaño (03/16/2023). In the first two cases, the next jackpot started at 100,000 euros and the same will happen from this Friday after the feat achieved by the Sevillian contestant.
Although neither the network nor the program itself have ever made it official, it is clear that Pass word is governed at this stage by a new rulewho wants viewers not to disconnect abruptly once he delivers his million-dollar jackpot.
