Monopoly Millionaires' Club (MMC), currently, is a series of 16 scratchcard games that differ by its participating lotteries; its players can become eligible to be flown to Las Vegas to take part in an episode of the ''Monopoly Millionaires′ Club'' game show (see below.) MMC, initially, was a U.S. multi-state lottery drawing game coordinated by the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL), using the ''Monopoly'' board game brand under license from Hasbro. Each $5 ticket for the draw game contained five numbers from 1 through 52, along with a randomly-generated sixth number from 1 through 28 that represented a property from the ''Monopoly'' board game. (Multiple plays from one bet slip were printed on separate tickets.) The jackpot began at $15 million (annuity value) and was capped at $25 million; if the jackpot was won, additional prizes of $1 million (lump sum) would be awarded. Tickets also contained a code to "collect" the corresponding property on the MMC website; collecting specific sets of properties made a player eligible for a chance to appear as a contestant (or an audience member) on the ''Monopoly Millionaires' Club'' game show, in which contestants can win up to $1 million. Ticket sales for the draw game began on October 19, 2014 in 22 states and the District of Columbia, with the first drawing held on October 24. In December, after the Texas Lottery pulled out of the game, the remaining participants voted to suspend Monopoly Millionaires' Club after the December 26 draw. The draw game was plagued by low ticket sales, along with concerns that the game was, with its multiple components, too complicated for players to understand.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://time.com/money/3636292/worst-lottery-game-ever-monopoly/ )〕 The ''Monopoly Millionaires' Club'' game show was unaffected by the suspension of the draw game, and premiered in syndication on March 28, 2015; that month, it was announced that the MMC lottery game would be revived as a series of scratchcard games (prizes vary by state); 16 of the 23 lotteries which offered the draw game, as of September 28, 2015, offer the $5 instant ticket. (The game show's first season featured hour-long episodes; the current season's shows are 30 minutes each.) ==Former draw game== Monopoly Millionaires' Club drawings occurred on Friday nights; each play cost $5, with multiple plays printed on separate tickets.〔 To win the jackpot, players must have matched 5 of 52 numbers in the main field (selected manually or through a quick pick), and a sixth number (automatic quick-pick) from a second field of 28; the latter was represented on the ticket by a property from a U.S. edition ''Monopoly'' game board (22 streets, 4 railroads, and 2 utilities), such as Marvin Gardens for the number 22. Jackpots started at $15 million, and were to be capped at $25 million until won.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.philly.com/philly/news/New_5_national_lottery_take_prize_for_being_complicated.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.philly.com/philly/news/Monopoly_Millionaires_Club_falls_far_short_of_record_for_1_million_prizes.html )〕 In addition to the five regular numbers plus the property, each ticket contained a 12-digit "Millionaires' Club Number"; in the event that the jackpot was won, additional $1 million raffle-style prizes were drawn from the Millionaires' Club numbers. A minimum of 10 were to be drawn for a $15 million jackpot; at least two were added per "rollover", so that a capped $25 million jackpot would have at least 16 additional cash millionaires if that jackpot was hit.〔 An MMC jackpot winner also received a custom top hat, resembling that worn by Mr. Monopoly. Tickets also contained a 25-character alphanumeric code that could be used to add the ticket's property to a virtual game board on the Monopoly Millionaires' Club website. Collecting certain sets of properties, such as Boardwalk and Park Place, awarded players a varying number of entries towards a chance to attend a taping of the ''Monopoly Millionaires' Club'' game show.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Monopoly Millionaires' Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
