Guarantee Point

On Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, a guarantee point or safety net is a prize awarded at certain levels of the game so contestants can't leave empty-handed after answering a certain number of questions correctly when an incorrect answer is given.

Most versions of the show offer two guarantee points, the original British version of the show had these set at £1,000 and £32,000, and three lifelines to reach one of these points.

Very rarely contestants have walked away with the money before reaching the first guarantee point to avoid leaving empty-handed after using all their lifelines.
