Pass is a lifeline which is used exclusively in Millionaire Hot Seat. This lifeline lets a contestant "pass" the current question to the next contestant. The contestant who made the pass leaves the hot seat, and the next contestant sits in it and tries to answer this question. After a pass has been made, a warning appears on the screen that indicates that the current contestant "Can't Pass", as repeated passes on the same question are not allowed; in order for this lifeline to be available again, the contestant must answer the current question. Each contestant can only use this lifeline once.

If a contestant fails to give an answer in the time limit, it is considered an automatic use of the Pass lifeline. In the case that time expires, and the succeeding contestant cannot pass the question (either because they were passed the current question or they used their pass already), they are treated as if they gave an incorrect answer.
