Monopoly Millionaires' Club is an American lottery game show that debuted in syndication on March 28, 2015. Hosted by stand-up comedian and actor Billy Gardell, best known for his role as police officer Mike Biggs on the sitcom Mike & Molly, it was initially based on an unsuccessful drawing game of the same name that was coordinated by the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL), using the Monopoly board game brand under license from Hasbro. The lottery game returned, in scratch-off form, in the spring of 2015.
Each episode culminated with a round called "Go for a Million", a bonus game with the top prize of $1,000,000. The show originated as an hour-long program in its first season, which aired from March 28 to June 13, 2015, consisting of five games per episode. For the second and final season, which aired from September 12, 2015, to April 30, 2016, the show was reduced to a 30-minute format incorporating only three games. In February 2016, the series was canceled after two seasons, with the final episode airing on April 30, 2016.
