Milionerzy

The main goal of the game is to win 1 million Polish złoty by answering twelve[2] multiple-choice questions correctly.

There are three classic lifelines[2] – ask the audience (pytanie do publiczności), fifty fifty (pół na pół, 50:50) and phone a friend (telefon do przyjaciela) – and also two other lifelines – ask the expert (pytanie do eksperta)[note 2][3] and switch the question (zamiana pytania).

Since 2017, it is shown every Monday to Thursday at 8:50 p.m. or 8:55 p.m. (CET +1 or CEST +2) on the Polish commercial television station TVN.

[note 4] The second one, modelled on the traditional style and introduced with the changes of credits and scenography in 2000, is round with green question marks.

From 2008 until 2023, the opening credits of the program featured an animation showing in sequence all prizes to one million złoty – it was patterned on the second British version.

[note 5] From 1999 to 2003, the boxes depicting the question and answer options in the game were black, in the shape of a rounded hexagon, with a light blue outline.

[11] In 2008 the show switched to rave graphics based on the Macedonian version: the question and answer boxes were navy-blue and smaller than before.

From November 2018 to February 2019, episodes for the Italian version were recorded at the TVN SCENO-KREACJE studio in Sękocin Stary near Warsaw.

Italy decided to record Millionaire in Poland due to a proposal from Sony Pictures Television, the licensor of the rights to the international format.

Production and substantive support was handled by Jan Kepinski's company Jake Vision, which holds the license of the Polish version of Millionaire.

Jake Vision was also responsible for finding an Italian audience in Poland, while the broadcast van was provided by TVN.

[6][7][8] The biggest number of viewers was on 5 March 2000, when a contestant won 250,000 zł for the first time in the history of the show.

The rules were the same as in normal episodes, but the captain decided about choosing an answer after consultations with the rest of family members.
