This weeks Jackpot questions

As promised, on the blog this year I am planning on uploading a wide variety of the content from the pub quizzes I am running.

Every quiz I do, I run the jackpot in the same format. All players pay £1 to take part which buys them a guess. I then ask a knowledge based question where the answer is a %, a year or a number. Closest player comes up to the mic, choses a category and then if they get the question they win whatever the jackpot happens to be. If not the majority rolls over and we play for side prizes of around 10% of the jackpot.

Here were this weeks questions...how would you have done?


Jackpot Round

Online Retailers

In the name of the online fashion retailer ASOS, what do the initials ASOS stand for?


20th Century Sitcoms

What 20th century British sitcom followed the lives of the Parkinson family?


Us Geography

The Mississippi River enters the sea as it passes out of which US State?


 
Football

The home stadium of Accrington Stanley shares a name with which famous pop band of the past?

 

 

Australian Geography


What is the most populated city in Australia that is NOT a state capital?

  6. ASOS is As Seen on Screen....Had it been a normal round maybe 1/2 a point but with it being a Jackpot round for all the money in front of the whole room you would need to be 100% correct
