On the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? franchise, a free shot is the first question after a guaranteed prize had been reached, meaning that there is no danger/penalty for incorrectly answering the question. The first question on the show is not technically considered a 'free shot' as at that point no money has yet been won. However, the contestant will still go away with nothing if an incorrect answer is given to the first question.

  • On the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? franchise, a free shot is the first question after a guaranteed prize had been reached, meaning that there is no danger/penalty for incorrectly answering the question. Providing an incorrect answer to a 'free shot' question has the same effect as a contestant walking away with the cash prize they already have. For example, on the original British version of the show with its 15 question format, the free shots were at Question 6 for £2,000 and Question 11 for £64,000, meaning that answering either of the two questions wrong will force the player to leave with the current cash prize, not losing any money in the process. The first question on the show is not technically considered a 'free shot' as at that point no money has yet been won. However, the contestant will still go away with nothing if an incorrect answer is given to the first question.
