Older version of the show's title card

The main goal of the game was to win 1,000,000 by answering 15 multiple-choice questions correctly. Contestants who answered their fifth question correctly won at least ₪1000, and those who answered their tenth question correctly won at least ₪32,000.

One contestant, Izhar Nevo, won the top prize, on 7 August 2000.[1] Nevo used his final lifeline, 50/50, on the last question and when still unsure of the answer tossed a coin to pick from the remaining two to win the top prize.
