Atrapa los Millones: La apuesta de tus sueños (English translation: Catch the Millions: The gamble of your dreams), formerly Atrapa los Millones: La apuesta de tu vida (English translation: Catch the Millions: The gamble of your life) was a Chilean game show which aired on Canal 13 in Chile. It was based on the UK series The Million Pound Drop. However, unlike the original UK version, it was not broadcast live, and there were several changes to the format. The show premiered in March 2012, and was hosted by Don Francisco[1] from seasons 1-3 until March 2015, when the 4th season premiered being hosted by Diana Bolocco. Additionally, Sergio Lagos hosted the last twelve episodes of that season, which Canal 13 decided not to air.

Game format

A team of two people with a pre-existing relationship is presented with CL$400,000,000 (about US$600,000), banded in 50 bundles of CL$8 million (in pieces of 10,000 pesos) each from seasons 1-3, or CL$100,000,000 (about US$170,000), banded in 50 bundles of CL$2 million (in pieces of 5,000 pesos) in season 4. The team must risk the entire amount on each of seven multiple-choice questions.

For each question, the contestants choose one of two categories, then indicate which answer(s) they wish to risk their money on by moving the bundles of cash onto a row of trap doors, termed "Trampas" (Drops), each of which corresponds to one answer. However, they must always keep at least one drop "clear" with no money on it. In addition, six of the seven questions have a time limit; any money that is not placed on an answer when time runs out will be lost.

Once the money is in place, the trap doors for the incorrect answers are opened, and the cash on them falls out of sight and is lost. The contestants then continue the game using the cash they had placed on the correct answer. They get to keep whatever money is left after the seventh question; if they lose everything before reaching this point, the game ends immediately and they leave with nothing.

1–3 4 60 seconds
4–6 3 60 seconds
7 2 75 seconds

Quick Change

The contestants may use one "Cambio rápido" (Quick Change) lifeline during the game, on any question except the seventh. This feature allows them an extra 30 seconds to distribute their cash among the trap doors. If none of the trapdoors are left open and the contestants still have the Quick Change, it will automatically be used.

Final Fact

For the seventh question, after the time runs out, the host reveals a piece of information about the answers. They then have 30 seconds to switch their answer or leave the money where it is.

The set

During the first three seasons, the show's set was a faithful imitation of the US version, but in the first season the set's elements were changed to emulate the UK version. Making a reference to this change, host Diana Bolocco wore a red dress in the commercial advert of the show, emulating the host of the UK version Davina McCall.
