Millionaire is a game show presented by Marty Whelan.[1] The studio-based show aired on Friday nights as a summer "filler" between 19 May and 1 September 1995.

Format

[edit]

Millionaire was produced in association with the National Lottery. Entry to the show was by collecting a particular sequence on special Millionaire scratch cards and each week four contestants competed for the chance to win up to £100,000. The final show saw each of the fifteen contestants, who won through the weekly rounds, compete for £1 million.

All programmes of it will be on RTE Player Christmas 2021 to celebrate 60 years of television.
