The Life Lines
Ask The Audience - Everyone who is watching the game posts what they think the answer is and the contestant picks which one he wants (or if no one posts in 10 minutes, I will allow the the contestant to use a 5 minute google search)
Phone A Friend - One bored member of the contestant's choice post's what he thinks the answer is.
50:50 - Same as Show
Switch The Question This life line becomes available after the 25,000 dollar question is answered correctly.
The Cash Prize Questions Ladder
$1,000,000
$500,000
$250,000
$100,000

$16,000
$8000
$4000
$2,000
