Milionerzy (Millionaires) is a Polish game show based on the original British format of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?[1] The show is hosted by Hubert Urbański. The main goal of the game is to win 1 million Polish zloty by answering twelve[2] multiple-choice questions correctly. There are three classic lifelines[2] – fifty fifty (pół na pół, 50:50), phone a friend (telefon do przyjaciela) and ask the audience (pytanie do publiczności) – and also two other lifelines – ask the expert (pytanie do eksperta)[note 1][3] and switch the question (zamiana pytania).[4] From March to December 2010 contestant could choose risk game, where the second guaranteed sum (40,000 zł) was not guaranteed.[5] The first series of Milionerzy was broadcast from 3 September 1999 to 26 January 2003, the second version was broadcast from 19 January 2008 to 19 December 2010, and the third version has been broadcast since 9 February 2017. Since 2017, it is shown every Monday to Thursday at 8:55 p.m (CET +1 or CEST +2) on the Polish commercial television station TVN. The executive producer of the programme was Endemol in the first version, Intergalactic in the second version, and Jake Vision in the third version. Since 2008, when a contestant gets the second question correct, they will leave with 1,000 zł. When a contestant gets the seventh question correct, they will leave with 40,000 zł.
