It all comes down to a question about an Aussie legend for South Australian Edwin Daly on tonight’s episode of the Hot Seat.
The 67-year-old is in a position you’re bound to envy – becoming the first person to walk away with the million-dollar prize on the hit TV show.
While the episode will air tonight at 5.30pm, it was actually filmed two weeks ago.

So what’s the final question that’ll decide his fortune?
Let’s just say it pays to know a little bit about Australian history.
