This year, the new season of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire is definitely with a bigger and better show on IBC-13. Now on its 13th year anniversary, the game show is hosted by Christopher and airs every Saturday night.

The contestant must answer a total of 15 general knowledge questions in multiple choices. Along the way, he can use lifelines like 50-50 (where two incorrect answers are removed from the choices), Phone a Friend, People Speak and Switch (where a contestant can opt to skip the question and go to the next one) to help him.

With the first Millionaire show hosted by Christopher, the prize money was P1M. When the show was acquired by TV5 in 2009, the jackpot prize was increased to P2M.

This season, a new lifeline and new twist will be introduced in the format of the game show that will challenge the contestant’s ability in choosing a lifeline.

Double Dip allows a contestant to give two answers to one question. If he gives a wrong answer, he can give another answer, hopefully the correct one, for the same question.

Here’s the twist. As soon as the contestant takes the hot seat, he will be made to choose from two formats — Classic Money Tree gives a safe haven and three lifelines while High-Risk Money Tree has one safe haven and four lifelines.
