Here, in Lithuania, we had this show called "Six Zeros - A Million". It was, in it's core, a Millionaire clone, but with loads of twists added on it.
The core premise of it was simple: Answer 21 questions and win a million Litas (It doesn't translate into English very well, so I'll just use the abbreviation Lt from now on).
The money tree looked like this:
1000000 Lt
----------
500000 Lt
400000 Lt
300000 Lt
200000 Lt
100000 Lt
----------
50000 Lt
40000 Lt
30000 Lt
20000 Lt
10000 Lt
----------
5000 Lt
4000 Lt
3000 Lt
2000 Lt
1000 Lt
----------
500 Lt
400 Lt
300 Lt
200 Lt
100 Lt
(1000000 Lt = 355161.41 $)
The contestant could set one safe haven anywhere they'd like.
The way of answering was basically the same, but there was a weird quirk: The amount of answer variants changed based on the amount you were playing for. For 100-500 Lt questions, there were 2 possible answers, for 1000-5000 Lt - 3 and so on, up to 1000000 Lt, which had 6 possible answers. The contestant also had only 6 minutes for *all* the questions. If it ran out, it would be the same as walking away.
The lifelines were also different. Those were:
On every episode there would *always* be 3 contestants. After all 3 finished their runs, the contestant with the most money won would return to the hot seat (if you like) and could choose to trade in his winnings for one of the six envelopes, placed on the table. They contained some prize written on it (usually a car, a PC, a cash prize, a TV and a coupon from a sponsoring store). However, one of the envelopes were empty. If a contestant picked that envelope, he/she would go out with nothing.

The lifelines were also different. Those were:
- "Library" - If used, contestant had 60 seconds to go to a "library" (a few bookshelves full of books next to the main stage) and look for an answer there.
- "Second Shot" - Millionaire's Double Dip, but with a secondary purpose: If a contestant answered the question incorrectly and he had Second Shot intact, then it would be burned and the contestant could continue his run (In the first season, the contestant could choose any lifeline to burn, but they thought that it was too overpowered, so they changed it to only Second Shot to be burnable for further seasons).
- "Ask an Audience Member" - People in the audience would raise hands, if they thought they knew the answer. Then, based only on looks, the contestant would choose one of them. The audience member then would set the 'Price' of his/her answer. If the contestant agrees, the audience member would give his answer. If it turned out to be the right answer, than that audience member would get the amount he asked for from the contestant's winnings.
