"One day, your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching" - Morgan Freeman (‘Carter’) - The Bucket List - 2007
How would you like to experience the VIP world beyond the velvet rope AND be given the opportunity to change your life, joining the richest 1% as a millionaire?
The viewing audience is looking for the next step in television. BLOW A MILLION® is the modern American dream for the twenty-first century. BAM is hugely aspirational and created as THE show for 99% of us who want to be more than voyeurs. Unlike all other reality competition game shows, ANYONE can enter, play, and win regardless of ability, appearance, education, background, or talent.
We offer real people real money to live out their dreams, experience the life of the 1%, making lifelong memories in front of an engaged global audience.
The format for BLOW A MILLION® is geared toward international franchising and global specials. BAM is the future of television. Viewers can watch, enter, vote, and interact 24/7 on the live stream at www.blowamillion.com and via the App across all devices.
As one of five new weekly contestants, all you must do is collectively spend EXACTLY £1 million (not a penny more, not a penny less) between you, having the time of your lives together, living your wildest 'bucket list' dreams, and sharing a little infectious generosity along the way.
Sounds easy, doesn't it?
But there are rules. There are always rules…
THE TEN BAM COMMANDMENTS
1. You are here to live your dreams. You must fulfil at least one wish from the ‘bucket list’ of each contestant
2. Your team have exactly seven days to spend exactly £1,000,000. Not a penny more, not a penny less
3. You shall not exceed the £20,000 limit for any single transaction
4. You shall obtain justifiable value* for all services
5. You MUST donate 5% to charitable causes
6. You must use 5% (£50,000) to set up a legacy driver designed to create lasting positive
impact
7. You must perform a random act of kindness every day
8. You shall not destroy anything you pay for
9. You must present a receipt for every purchase
10. At the end of your week's adventure, you shall not own any assets
*Justifiable value is regarded as the market value for the services provided and not an inflated price to consume capital, i.e. you may hire the best personal trainer to the stars at their published daily/hourly rate, but an untrained friend acting as a hairstylist for £20,000 per day is not justifiable value.
WHY BLOW A MILLION® IS THE NEXT BIG THING
The number one factor for success is TIMING. For example, the stratospheric success of YouTube is all down to timing. Launched in 2005, which was precisely when broadband penetration crossed 50% in America and Adobe Flash solved Codex dial-up issues.
Production technology has finally caught up with the Founder’s imagination, e.g. Outside broadcast cameras, 4K, viable battery packs, and major streaming platforms (Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, etc.) champion the new era of technology with live events and live programming.
In 2025, the convergence of improved technology post-pandemic has delivered a perfect storm - A catalyst for “The New Roaring Twenties”. The vast majority of Millenials and Gen Z rarely watch scheduled linear television; by comparison, as digital natives, their usage of media streaming services is exceptionally high
BAM offers more than just entertainment. It offers hope and freedom, and the world could do with a lot more of both right now. Following five years of pandemic, market uncertainty, wars and recession, we are entering a new ‘golden age’ of optimism and prosperity. America will lead an economic boom, the likes of which have not been seen since the dot.com era of the late 90s.
Reality competition programs have dominated ratings for 25 years. BLOW A MILLION® is the next prime-time behemoth, scaling a million-dollar format as a franchise model into a billion-dollar global brand in a trillion-dollar industry.
We are in the right place at exactly the right time with the right product.
“The world has recognised that the future of content delivery is the internet.
Not linear, not theatrical."
– Marc Randolph: Co-Founder and first CEO of NETFLIX
Our key demographic is an aspirational global audience of 18-49-year-olds; BLOW A MILLION® attracts families and young adults alike, with a shared obsession with celebrity culture, fame and fortune.
In a TED Talk by Robert Waldinger (Psychiatrist and Professor at Harvard) entitled: "What makes a good life? Lessons from the longest study on happiness" - Waldinger opens his talk by stating:
"In a recent survey of millennials asking them what their most important life goals were, over 80% said that one of their life goals was to get rich. Another 50% said that a major life goal was to become famous."
Needless to say, BLOW A MILLION ® offers both. In abundance, following Emmy-award-winning Executive Producer Mark Burnett’s golden rule of television:
“To create something that people want to watch.”
WHAT THE BIG CHEESES IN MEDIA ARE SAYING:
“The digital model is great. It will get talked about and get lots of attention; it is basically crowdfunding a game show to make certain people rich! As a business model, it’s good.”
- Ruth Wrigley: EMMY/BAFTA award-winning Executive Producer,
former Head of Entertainment at the BBC, Celador, Fremantle, and All3Media
"I loved the sizzle for your format, BLOW A MILLION ®. My instinct tells me it will pull in the viewers and make some waves in the industry."
- Simon Lythgoe: Showrunner & Exec Producer (American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance)
"What do I think? I think you are driven, and every success I know has someone driven behind it."
- Simon Morris: Chief Creative Officer Worldwide at Amazon
"Brewster's Millions…Love it! I love your writing and concept. I think it’s a terrific premise for a very BIG event type of show.”
- Scott Manville: CEO & Founder of TV Writers Vault
"I love the concept. BLOW A MILLION ® is very well thought through and articulated, and there is something wonderfully big and fun about the idea."
- Remy Blumenfeld: Chief Creative Officer Thinking Violets/Executive Producer Who’d Be A Billionaire.
“The public has a huge fascination with how the 1% live, and the idea that BLOW A MILLION ® will give them an opportunity to live that lifestyle for a week is something that will appeal to the masses."
- Brian Knapmiller: Executive Producer of "Lone Target"/"Manhunt" for Discovery
“I actually like the premise behind BAM. It’s a fun idea, and I could see something like that working."
- Michael Birch O.B.E Founder of Bebo (*sold to AOL for $850m): Serial startup Entrepreneur & Philanthropist
"If anyone can make it happen, you can."
- Joe Mace: Commissioner Entertainment, ITV Studios
