Miljoenenjacht (English: Hunt for Millions; Dutch pronunciation: [mɪlˈjunə(n)jɑxt]), officially Postcode Loterij Miljoenenjacht, is a Dutch game show, sponsored by the country's postcode lottery, where a contestant and at-home viewer could win up to €5,000,000 (approx. $6,420,000 or £4,010,000) or as little as €0.01. The show is broadcast at various times, spanning across six episodes for each set. The program was originally shown by TROS on Nederland 2, but moved to creator John de Mol's channel Tien in 2005. After the channel was discontinued after its sale to the RTL Group, the program moved to RTL 4.
Originally based on the German game show "", the format of the programme's final round used since 2002 has been exported worldwide by Dutch producer Endemol under the title Deal or No Deal, a title also used for Miljoenenjacht's lower-stakes sister spinoff on RTL 5, which is based more off the global format and removes the additional elements.
The show has been airing since late 2000. In the first season which aired from November 2000 to September 2001, there has only been one show per month (seven shows plus one special edition in total). Since the "Deal or No Deal" endgame has been introduced, Miljoenenjacht airs two series of about five episodes each per year: One in spring and the other in fall.
1,000 contenders were split into ten numbered sections of 100, these blocks were also divided into five blocks of 20. The first round consisted of four multiple-choice questions, each one with three possible answers. The contenders were given keypads to answer each of the questions within six seconds. They were divided into two teams of 500 - a red team (blocks 1-5) and a blue team (blocks 6-10). Each right answer gained their team a point, the team with the most points after four questions (red or blue) advanced to the second round, the other team was eliminated from the contest. In the second round, the five victorious sections from the first round played each other exactly the same way as in the previous round, with only one of the five sections proceeding to the next round. The five blocks of this section were then pit against each other in Round 3.
