Twenty two sealed boxes was all that stood between a Witham resident and £250,000.
Footballer Olly Murs, who plays centre forward for Witham Town FC, did not score a big win after having his turn on Channel Four's Deal or No Deal last week.
Mr Murs, 23, filmed 29 episodes of the popular entertainment show and after a month on television he finally got his chance in the hot seat.
The pre-recorded episode was screened last Thursday evening and Mr Murs won only £10 after a disastrous game.
At one stage he turned down an offer of £22,000 and at the end he gambled with £1,000, which he already had, and left with just a £10 note.
