Call Your Ex, Win $10,000
Quick Overview
The woman in the video won $9,156 after successfully completing the challenge of calling her ex-boyfriend and having him answer, while the offer was structured so that if he answered, she received $10,000, but the host presented conflicting amounts of $490 and $10,000, ultimately resulting in a final payout of $9,156 after the ex-boyfriend was revealed to have blocked her and then unblocked her.
Key Points: The challenge required the participant to call her ex-boyfriend; if he answered, she would win $10,000, but the initial offer shown was $490. The participant confirmed she was subscribed to MrBeast and that her ex-boyfriend, Nick, was the contact she was supposed to call. The participant initially stated she had blocked her ex, Nick, but then revealed she had unblocked him just before the call.
