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.
