That's correct

From the British Game Show Wiki:

"Before the show, 100 people are each given 100 seconds to provide answers to the questions that will be asked to the contestants during the show. Each person who said that answer is worth one point. To survive a round, teams have to achieve a score as low as possible, for the team with the highest score is eliminated after each round. Each time they give a pointless answer (a correct answer that scores zero points, hence the name of the show), money is added to a jackpot, which can be claimed at the end of the show"
