[2] The main goal of the game is to win €1 Million by answering 15 multiple-choice questions correctly.

Lotto balls were also prominently featured in the programme's opening sequences and studio decoration during this period.

The eight audience members with the best results (most correct answers in shortest time) qualify for the Fastest Finger round which decides who will play for the million in the Hot Seat.

Two seasons are broadcast annually, one in the spring (February, March and April) and one in the fall (October, November and December).
