Postkodmiljonären (English translation: The postal code-millionaire) is a Swedish game show based on the original British format of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. The show is hosted by Rickard Sjöberg. The main goal of the game is to win 1 million SEK by answering 15 multiple-choice questions correctly. There are three lifelines - fifty fifty (50:50), phone a friend (ringa en vän) and ask the audience (fråga publiken). First series of Postkodmiljonären was broadcast from 1999 to 2003, was called Vem vill bli miljonär? and its host was Bengt Magnusson, and the main prize was 10 million SEK, but TV4 stopped broadcasting this game show because TV4 hadn't got enough money to pay for winners. Then, in 2005 new series started, called Postkodmiljonären with the main prize of 1 million SEK. It is shown every Friday and Saturday from 7:30 PM to 8 PM (UTC+1) on the Swedish commercial television station TV4. When a contestant gets the fifth question correct, he will leave with at least 10,000 SEK. When a contestant gets the tenth question correct, he will leave with at least 100,000 PLN. The programme is also combined with Swedish Postcode Lottery in a twice-weekly format. The profits from the show's lotteries go to inter alia Save the Children, Children's Cancer Foundation, BRIS, Alzheimer and Lifeboat Society and World Wildlife Fund.
