The six contestants won a combined total of A$286,000 on this episode.
Half of each celebrity's winnings was given to a charity of the celebrity's choice, and the other half was won by a chosen home player.
This was the first episode of any version of the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire franchise to be broadcast live.
Because the episode was broadcast live, each of the celebrities' nominated Phone-A-Friends was accompanied by a legal representative who would ensure that the Phone-A-Friend could not see a TV screen and would only know about the question when the celebrity gives it to them.
