Win $1 Million: Local Auditions
'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?' is holding tryouts in the Greater Philadelphia region.
Do you want a chance to win a cool million? Who doesn’t? Area residents will have their shot very soon.
ABC’s Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? with Meredith Viera is a trivia show lasting 30 minutes, airing each weekday. Guests are quizzed with randomly selected questions. If they answer correctly, they win a randomly selected amount of money.
As watchers know, guests are also given some “help” through resources like “Ask the Audience” or “Jump the Question.” Contestants work their way up the ladder in order to get to the big money, and try to win exactly what the name implies: a million dollars.
