The Million Peso Omeny Drop
INTRODUCTION

The Million Peso Money Drop is a Philippine game show on TV5. Unlike its UK counterpart, this version is pre-recorded and not broadcast live. The show is hosted by Vic Sotto. This is the second Endemol program adapted by TV5 after Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Philippines.
This version of the show is based heavily on the American version which in turn is based on The Million Pound Drop Live. At the beginning, a pair of contestants are presented with a million pesos (40 bundles of 25,000 pesos in 20 peso bills), they must be able to keep their money until the end of the game by correctly answering 8 multiple choice questions by placing their bundles of money on the trapdoor (among 4) they think is correct in 60 seconds. If they are wrong, the money placed on the trapdoor will fall down the "money drop". They may distribute their money on multiple trapdoors if they are not sure of the answer, however, one trapdoor must alway be left empty. At certain questions, a trapdoor is put out of play. Whatever money they have left is theirs to keep.
The contestants may use one "Quick Change" during the game, on any question except the eighth. This feature allows them an extra 30 seconds to distribute their cash among the trapdoors. If no trapdoors are left open and the contestants still have the Quick Change, it will automatically be used.

    The contest is over. James Haliday’s fortune has finally been won. The backstory to the contest is as follows. When James Haliday (creator of the OASIS) passed away six years ago, in his will was a video. That video explained that before he died, Haliday inserted “easter eggs” into his most popular game. He programmed in three different keys to three different gates. The first player to open the last gate wins Haliday’s fortune of over 240 billion US dollars. Haliday gave gunters, people who tried to win the contest, a hint in the form of a riddle. This riddle led them to one of the keys which then had another riddle, this was how pleople were supposed to find all the keys and gates. The Sixers are the yin and the gunters are the yang. The Sixers are a multimillion dollar company with experts who are trying to win the prize. This is considered unfair to the gunters, who are by themselves and think the Sixers ruin the spirit of the contest. This scavenger hunt all inside the OASIS has been going on for six years. Yesterday a gunter claimed the prize.…

    Jackson somewhat prepares the reader for this by foreshadowing. She drops hints by stressing on how traditional it is; also how Mr. Summers takes it so seriously. People talk of how they are getting rid of it in other towns. People have hesitation before most of their actions in this story. Jackson uses details to describe the box in which you draw out of.

    The Lottery happens in June every year in a small village of about 300 people. It's a tradition held annually for well over 80 years and Mr. Summers who oversees several civic activities in the community like square dances, teenage club, and the Halloween program as well as the Lottery. The Lottery normally starts around ten o'clock in the morning and is finished around noon, the townspeople gather at the center of the town. A small old black wooden box is used to shuffle and pass out slips of paper out to the townsfolk, the various head of house-holds line up to be dealt a small hand of fate. A lot of the original stuff that came with the small black wooden box has been long since lost, and the box too was shabby looking after many years of use. After some commotion Mr. Summers declared the lottery ‘opened' and several list were gathered. The lists had family's names and the name of each head of household on the list, and each person drew for each family. After everybody had drawn a slip of paper out of the box and once the last slip of paper was drawn Mr. Summers allowed everyone to open all at once. All the slips of paper are blank except for one piece that has a large dark dot scratched in heavy pencil on the piece of paper.…

    Themes in "The Lottery"

    The townspeople in “The Lottery” blindly go along with an appalling custom having lost the reason behind it long ago. The box used for the raffle tickets is not even the same box. It had been replaced so long ago that it is thought – not known - that the box used now contains some of the wood from the original box. It is shabby and worn out, just as this lottery is. Paper now replaces the wood chips originally used. Indeed, most of the ritual has now been forgotten, lost along with the reasons behind this ghastly custom. There was supposedly a song that is no longer remembered. There was supposedly a salute given to each person drawing from the lottery box; however, that, too was long forgotten. Some say that the facilitator of the lottery was supposed to stand and give a prewritten speech, while still…

    At the beginning of the story before the reader even knows what is going on, there is a scene involving children that is illustrated as such, “They stood together away from the pile of stones in the corner, and their jokes were quiet and they smiled rather than laughed” (Jackson 346). This excerpt epitomizes the nature that humans possess once they conform to the ways of society. The stones gathered in piles were the stones that they collected to stone the chosen winner of the lottery for that year and the villagers were casually joking as if it was no big deal at all. Prior to the lottery families were planning what they were going to do next after it was all over. Preparing to move on with their lives as if nothing had ever happened. This is exposed at the beginning of the story when Jackson portrays,”. . . the whole lottery took less than two hours, so it could begin at ten o’clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner” (346). This is astonishing because all the people will completely ignore what occurred and move on as if all is well. In addition, Jackson makes it known that the lottery has been around for a very long time by vividly describing the black box. The fact that it has been around longer than the oldest person in the village, Old Man Warner. Assuming the…

    It is an old raggedy box that has been used since before Old Man Warner could remember (Turner). Its sole purpose is to determine a sacrifice in order to have a good harvest, which is why the lottery takes place during late June. There are some town’s people who do not like the condition of the box and propose to get a new one; yet others prefer it that way simply because they are too frightened to change the circumstances that were passed down from their founding fathers. “Summers spoke frequently to the villagers about making a new box, but no one liked to upset even as much tradition as was represented by the black box” (Jackson). Reluctant to change the box gives the impression that it is a representation of the lottery in itself. At this point, it is clear that the characters as a whole are important to the idea of keeping tradition leads to…
