Who Wants To Be A Millionaire: 20 Years (South African 20th anniversary reboot)

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire: 20 Years is an upcoming 20th anniversary reboot of the South African version of the British game show, hosted by Jeremy Maggs who hosted the original version. The goal of the game is to win R20,000,000 by answering 15 multiple-choice questions correctly, with modifications made to the original format including an updated payout structure and a new lifeline: Ask The Host. The upcoming reboot once again airs on SABC3, although the original version also aired on M-Net. Five episodes aired over the first week of November 2019, with the promise of a recurring revival throughout 2020.

== Gameplay modifications ==
The reboot has made some gameplay modifications to the original format:
=== Ask The Host lifeline ===
The host offers advice or an answer to the question. The host must disclose that he has no contact with outside sources and there is no time limit. The lifeline starts when he says “So here’s what I think”; once the host says "Final Answer", the lifeline is ended and the host cannot help the contestant further. On this question, the answer does not automatically reveal itself when the contestant gives "Final Answer": instead, the host asks the computer to reveal the answer, which is thus revealed at the same time to both host and contestant.
=== Payout structure ===
The payout structure was severly updated due to the falling constraints of the South African rand. Each question value was modified due to the differences in the exchange rates at the time of the original version, and the player would walk away with the milestone they have achieved if they answer incorrectly, which would be either no amount, R20,000 or their selected safety net after reaching the guarantee point.
=== Safety net ===
Coinciding with the new features of the original British version, anytime after the R20,000 guarantee point, contestants can select their second guarantee point, which they would walk away with eventually if they answer incorrectly or decide to take that second guarantee point away.
== Top prize winners ==
=== David Paterson (original version) ===
David Paterson was the only R1,000,000 winner on the original version, on 19 March 2000. He was the first winner outside of the United States.https://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/pe-brainbox-becomes-tv-millionaire-32072
