The lottery show was a Saturday night game show that was broadcast between 1998 and 2001 in a total of 18 editions on ARD . The moderator was Ulla Kock am Brink . The regular transmission time was 120 minutes.

procedure

In each show, 49 drawn candidates competed against each other with the chance of becoming the winner of the day and thus a millionaire. Six of the 49 candidates contested a final round from which the winner of the day was determined. In accordance with the lottery principle, the participants in the final round had no chance to intervene in the course of this round themselves and were dependent on luck: Members of a specific professional group, so-called "top jobbers", played on their behalf and played games that matched their respective profession . The candidate whose top jobber won three balls first received one million Deutschmarks. At the same time, TV viewers had the opportunity to win DM 100,000. There were show blocks between the games.

background

  • All editions of the show were broadcast live from Bottrop .
  • The program was created in cooperation with the German Lotto- und Totoblock and adopted lottery 6 out of 49 motifs for the selection of candidates .
  • The winnings played out on the show came from unclaimed winnings from lottery players, mostly from Game 77 .
  • In the editions of the show broadcast from 2000 onwards, the six finalists were drawn from among the 49 candidates before the broadcast, in particular because the regular broadcasting time was often exceeded.
  • In the shows, international and national stars gave each other a hand. B. Bryan Ferry, Phil Collins, Xavier Naidoo, Mariah Carey
  • The characteristic voice over voice belonged to Andreas Hoffmann-Sinnhuber, who was often heard on the same slot (Saturday 8:15 pm) on competitor RTL in the 100,000 DM show.

criticism

Rudi Carrell was quoted as saying that the show only had "some quota because Ulla Kock exceeded 40 minutes on the Brink until nothing was on the other channels".
