Milionerzy (Millionaires) is a Polish game show based on the original British format of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. The show is hosted by Hubert Urbański. The main goal of the game is to win 1 million polish zloty (€240,000) by answering twelvemultiple-choice questions correctly. In previous editions, there were three or four lifelines - fifty fifty (pół na pół, 50:50), ask the audience (pytanie do publiczności) and ask the expert (pytanie do eksperta), the experts were: Bartosz Węglarczyk, Michał Ogórek, Szymon Hołownia, Dorota Wellman and Jan Wróbel; in the previous season - Andrzej Fabianowski, Piotr Gąsowski and Kazimiera Szczuka. Earlier there was (and since 2017 there is) phone a friend [telefon do przyjaciela] instead of ask the expert [pytanie do eksperta]. Since March 2010 until February 2017, contestant could choose risk game. If the contestant wanted risk game, a new lifeline called switch the question (zmiana pytania) was added - if the contestant chose to play the version with this lifeline, the second guaranteed sum (40,000 zł) was not guaranteed. The first series of Milionerzy was broadcast from 3 September 1999 to 26 January 2003, and the second version has been broadcast since 19 January 2008. It was shown every Sunday at 6 p.m (CET +1 or CEST +2) on the Polish commercial television station TVN. Now, it is shown on 8:55 p.m from Monday to Thursday (CET +1 or CEST +2) Executive producer of first series was Endemol. Now, the executive producer of programme is Intergalactic. Since 2008, when a contestant gets the second question correct, he or she will leave with 1,000 zł. When a contestant gets the seventh question correct, he or she will leave with 40,000 zł.
