Dang it, I forgot to call last night. Added it to my Google Calendar for the rest of the open period.
Seems a bit worrisome that every phone-in date "winnar" can choose any of the six available tape dates. IIRC the tape date selections 10 years ago were a bit more limited and staggered based on when the winnar called in, but I could be wrong. Whatever the result, the odds seem astronomical. |

I don't see how the odds would be any different due to the way the tape date is chosen. Ultimately, you still have X number of winners and Y number of tape dates. If anything, from the sound of things it's harder than ever to beat the phone game. That plus, frankly, there hasn't been a lot of promotion this time around, suggests to me that the pool of winners ought to be smaller than ever. |

Anyone able to get any questions tonight? I enter my birthday and social and nothing happens. No message, no nothing, just silence.

Same thing happened to me, but eventually I got the rules and regs and, eventually, the questions. /well, one of the questions at least |

I didn't even get a chance to answer a single question...and it was my own fault. I have a cordless phone w/speaker phone, and assuming that if I put the handset on the cradle, the speaker would come on the base unit, instead of the handset. Unfortunately, the phone hung up, just after I entered my info. I tried to call back, but when it hung up, it also hung my chances of playing for that day. In other words...
Once you enter your info, don't hang up! Otherwise, you will have to wait until 7PM tomorrow to play the phone game. |

Note: There's a web version of the phone game, but it is only for those who cannot use a phone. It's not for fun. The link to the computer game from Millionaire's phone game page is here.
