"You're not allowed to walk away" - Who Wants to be a Millionaire [Old Format]

Contestant uses the Double Dip lifeline on his $25,000 question and provides an incorrect answer, then the clock to expires before he gives a second answer. He is penalized with an incorrect answer and loses $15,000.

Official Rule for Double Dip Lifeline
------------------------------------
Once a Contestant elects to use the Double Dip lifeline the Contestant must give a Final Answer to the question. When the Contestant states he/she wants to use Double Dip the game clock stops and the Contestant must immediately state his/her first answer. The Host calls for the computer to confirm if the first selected answer is correct. If the first answer is correct the Contestant is awarded the dollar value associated with the question and any unused time on the game clock is Banked. If the first answer is incorrect, the Host states how much time remains on the game clock and the game clock resumes. The Contestant must select another answer. If a Contestant's second answer is incorrect or if he/she fails to select a second answer before time expires on the game clock, the Contestant is eliminated from the Game and loses a portion of the winnings earned in accordance with the prize table set forth in Rule 6, below. If the second answer is correct the Contestant is awarded the dollar value associated with the question and any unused time is Banked.

@NFLCB21 Yeh, because he looked really poor, didn't he?

[NFLCB21]

@Infiniteuniverse88. That still doesn't mean $1,000 is $20,000 for a Black person. Currency doesn't change because of a person's race. Even if you're talking figuratively, a dollar is worth the same no matter who has it of where they spend it.
