A match that seemed haunted turned into an unforgettable evening for Simona Magro, an engineer originally from Catanzaro but resident in Rende (CS), protagonist of the episode of Affari Tuoi which aired tonight, 30 March 2026. Accompanied by her father Giustino, a surveyor, Simona faced the “Doctor” in a duel made up of risky changes and courageous choices.
Simona’s adventure in Stefano De Martino’s studio began in the worst possible way. From the first throws, the competitor saw the highest prizes vanish: 300,000 euros out, followed closely by 200,000, 50,000 and 20,000 euros. A negative streak that pushed the Doctor to make a first, timid offer of just 15,000 euros, which was promptly rejected. The parcel exchange “trap” The moment of maximum tension came when Simona decided to accept the exchange of her original parcel, the number 6, to take the 5. A choice that initially turned out to be a hoax: upon opening the parcel she had just given, Simona regretfully discovered that it contained 30,000 euros. Despite the psychological blow, the competitor chose to continue with optimism: “We are having fun and we continue to do so”, she declared, rejecting a further offer of 20,000 euros.
In the final stages, the situation became dramatic. Simona arrived with the two heaviest remaining prizes (75,000 and 100,000 euros) surrounded by blue packages. After losing the 75,000 euros, she attempted one last exchange by giving up package 5 for the number 3. Unfortunately, luck turned her back: the 100,000 euros were called and the board remained empty of “reds”.
Left without prizes in the package, Simona did not give up and decided to try her luck at the Fortunata Region. At the first attempt, Simona and her father aimed at Liguria for the maximum prize of 100,000 euros, but without success. On the second attempt, with 50,000 euros up for grabs, the choice fell on Veneto. After long moments of suspense, Stefano De Martino revealed the verdict: the correct region was Veneto. Simona explodes in tears of joy, taking home a higher amount than she had initially given up during the match. A victory of nerves and intuition that ignited the audience in the studio and at home.
