So how much money will the winner get?


A million, like in that OTHER nighttime quiz show?

And what if no one has answered 500 questions by the end of the seven shows?

reply

far, far, less.

500 is completely meaningless, yet it is in the title. #foolish

The current contestant is averaging $36,000 per 50 questions, so using that it seems logical to infer that IF he were to successfully make it through all 500 questions, he would make around $360,000 give or take a bit for the milestone bonuses

If all five hundred questions were answered as the first answer, the contestant would recieve $500,000. Add $5000 to each milestone (25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 275, 300, 325, 350, 375, 400, 425, 450, 475, 500) which would be $100,000 for a total of $600,000. Some of the questions are triple threat questions requiring three answers for $1000 each answer for a total of $3000, only if all three answers are given in a row (two first answers in a row does not mean you get $2000 and one first answer does not mean you get $1000). Because you do not know how many triple threat questions there are, you can say that if no mistakes are made, the contestant will get at least $600,000 to take home.
