How can I get onto the live TV show to win N10million via playing the WWTBAM App?

To stand a chance of being invited for the live TV show, players must meet the following conditions:

• Download the WWTBAM App from the Google Play store or MTN App store from a device with an MTN line.
• Create a profile on the App
• Activate a valid monthly App subscription (Send PIN to 165 from an MTN Line)
• Play and be among the top players on the monthly HOT SEAT LEADERBOARD

The player at the top with the highest points on the monthly Hot Seat Leaderboard qualifies to be invited as a Fastest Fingers First (FFF) player on the live TV show (if the player has not already played on the TV show hot seat before)! The next 3 top players are also qualified for the random selection process for selecting FFF contestants for the live TV show. The top five (5) players each week also qualify for the random selection process and could qualify to be an FFF Player. So a total of 20 top weekly players could stand a chance of getting on to the live TV show as FFF players.

If you are selected as a top player, you will be contacted via your MTN line.

To win cash prizes, players must meet the following conditions:

• Download the WWTBAM App from the MTN App store or Google Play store from a device with an MTN line.
• Create a profile on the App
• Setup an active subscription for the month under review
• Be amongst the top 10 players on the Hot Seat leader board each week or at the end of the month.

The ten (10) top players each week will win N5, 000 every week, while top player for the month will win N50, 000 every month. Weekly winners are entitled to the cash prize only once within a quarter, while monthly winners can only win the top cash prize once in a Millionaire Season.

        Weekly draws for top 10 players are done every     wednesday between Wednesday of the preceeding week and Tuesday of the current week. 

Please see Terms and Conditions for more details.
