Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

There are three (3) lifelines that Contestants can use for assistance during Game play. Contestants can use multiple lifelines to answer any single question; however, each lifeline can only be used once. The three (3) lifelines are:


Fifty-Fifty - The Contestant asks to have the computer eliminate two (2) of the possible answer choices, leaving the Contestant a choice of two (2) answers [one (1) of which is the correct answer] from which to select. The Contestant then has the choice of selecting an answer, quitting the Game or using another lifeline, if available.


Ask the Audience - The Contestant asks the studio audience which answer they believe is correct. Members of the studio audience indicate their choices by pressing the key on their keypad corresponding to the correct answer. The Contestant then has the choice of selecting an answer, quitting the Game or using another lifeline, if available.


Phone-A-Friend - Contestants may call one (1) of up to five (5) pre-arranged friends. Phone-a-friends may not use cellular phones. Individuals participating as phone-a-friends may do so only two (2) times within each broadcast season (to be determined in Game Sponsor's sole discretion) of the Syndicated Program. The Contestant must provide the five (5) friends' names and phone numbers in advance. The friend has thirty (30) seconds to select an answer. The Contestant then has the choice of selecting an answer, quitting the Game or using another lifeline, if available.

Contestants in the Game will have the opportunity to change their answers until either a) the host asks if the answer is the final answer and the Contestant indicates an affirmative response to the host's question, or b) the Contestant says, unprompted, that the answer given is his/her final answer. Once the Contestant has indicated that his/her answer is final either by his/her own statement or by an affirmative response to the host's question (determined in the judge's sole discretion), the answer is final and cannot be changed.
