Another Strategy
It is clear from the shows and Tan's photos, that the contestants are one big happy family during their time with DOND.
Now what I am about to suugest may not be very entertaining to watch (I am not sure) but why don't they agree to pool their winnings together? The probability of the £250,000 coming up is 1 in 22, but has not yet been won despite us watching game 160. However if they all agreed to share their winnings - something like 22 games after you play, you take a 22nd of the cash pool - and all contestants agree to go to the end - then the big one should come up regularly and they should each win something close to £25,000.
If, and perish the thought, DOND comes to an end, then after the last show, winnings should be shared out amongst 44 (as opposed to 22).
Just a thought ;-)

It's interesting to note that if you follow the law of averages exactly, each person can indeed win around £25,000 as you said.
The current average win is around the £16k - 17k mark (it was 17k at show 100, and show 150, it's currently just over 16k) so your suggested strategy would benefit everyone.
I guess in a way there's also proof that 16/25 people deal at the wrong time.
