Many residents of the U.K. are familiar with a series known as "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?", which began on ITV before other versions in nations like India and the U.S. started. The U.S. version was ignited in 1999, a year after the original version debuted in the U.K. on ITV. I've looked at episodes of the U.S. version during the mid-to-late 2000s, and discovered in some years of the 2010s that other versions existed, one version being the original as I'd later discover. The Indian version was utilized for Slumdog Millionaire, a really good film with morals and lessons.

Several people on YouTube created various versions of WWTBAM and included the original scores of the classic version. For those unfamiliar, the game series operates with the host and the player sitting opposite each other with two diagonally positioned screens in front of them. The host asks them a trivial question with four answers, and the player must answer each correctly. Each question is worth more money than the last; that prize becomes the new total amount when they correctly answer one. They must confirm if it's their final answer to the question. They answer it wrong, the game is over for them, and new players must take their shine. Players can choose not to answer a question and walk away with their earnings so far.

There are varying formats, especially for the question layout. There are normally 15 in the classic version:

1. $100

2. $200

3. $300

4. $500

5. $1,000 (Checkpoint)

6. $2,000

7. $4,000

8. $8,000

9. $16,000

10. $32,000 (Checkpoint)

11. $64,000

12. $125,000

13. $250,000

14. $500,000

15. $1,000,000 (Grand prize)

If the player gets the checkpoint question correct, they're guaranteed to possess that much money when they get one of the following questions wrong.

The prizes can be different with this 15-question layout, as long as each question is worth more money than the last, and the final one is worth a million dollars(or whatever currency).

There have been layouts that reduced the amount of questions to 12 or 14 throughout the many versions across the world and throughout the various points in history. Here's a version of the 14-question layout.

1. $500

2. $1,000

3. $2,000

4. $3,000

5. $5,000 (Checkpoint)

6. $7,000

7. $10,000

8. $20,000

9. $30,000

10. $50,000 (Checkpoint)

11. $100,000

12. $250,000

13. $500,000

14. $1,000,000 (Grand prize)

Here is, though it never existed, a U.S. edition of the 12-question layout, since my QWERTY keyboard is U.S.-based and doesn't have a symbol for the U.K. currency.

1. $500

2. $1,000 (Checkpoint)

3. $2,000

4. $5,000
