Format
Prior to the show, a contestant is hooked up to a polygraph and asked between 50 and 70 questions. Without knowing the results of the polygraph test, he or she is asked 21 of those same questions again on the program, each becoming more personal in nature. If the contestant answers honestly as confirmed by the polygraph, he or she moves on to the next question. A person may stop at any time before any question is asked and collect the money they have won. Honestly answering all 21 questions wins the jackpot. If the participant is found to be lying, he or she loses everything and the game is over.

Controversy
The Colombian version was axed in October 2007 when a female contestant Rosa Maria Solano was asked "¿Usted le pagó a un sicario para mandar matar a su marido?", meaning, "Did you pay a hit man to kill your husband?" and she answered "yes" to the question. (The person she hired tipped off her husband, who then fled.) She later walked away with US$25,000.[3].
