The 10 questions that netted a Hits listener $10,000

An Auckland fan of Sarah, Sam and Toni is $10,000 richer today after scooping the morning radio show's quiz.

North Shore resident Mike Shaw was in a car with his family when he took part in The Hits' Alpha Quiz, a daily segment offering a $10,000 prize to someone who can correctly answer 10 general knowledge questions in 60 seconds.

The prize has only been won once before since the segment started in February.

Shaw correctly answered nine out of the 10 questions, initially passing on one - "Jake and Beth were main characters in which NZ film?" - before getting it right on the second try and winning the prize money.

He was with his wife Trina, daughter Jess and son Benjamin doing the school drop-off for his two older children when he took part in the quiz.

"I'm glad I let my wife drive because I'm shaking," said Shaw after being confirmed the winner.

"The 4-year-old doesn't care, the oldest two know we're probably going on holiday."

Shaw will received his prize money when host Sam Wallace delivers it in person - while wearing a bra - later today.
