Changes in the money tree
In 2002, after Italy's transition to the euro, it seems that it was not credible to change the amount of winnings at the euro rate to the lira, so the top prize was increased to 1,000,000 euros (in the first episode of January 13, 2002, the show changed its name to Chi vuol essere milionario? and it was clearly demonstrated how new the amount is greater than the old ones).
