    		On August 13, 2007, it was announced that the UK version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? is changing its format, cutting the number of questions it takes to reach the £1 million jackpot. The prize money will start at £500 rather than £100 and there will be only 12 questions to replace the former 15. After reaching £1,000, the prize fund will increase to £2,000, £5,000, £10,000, £20,000 and £50,000, which is the second "safe haven", previously £32,000.
