Life-changing prizes, endless excitement, and a chance for every Filipino to dream bigger are what Willie Revillame promises as he returns to host his highly anticipated new game show, “Wilyonaryo.” Kuya Wil is set to open a new chapter in Philippine game shows, bringing fun and winning opportunity straight to homes across the nation. As a hybrid show comparable to today’s popular e-gaming platforms in the country, it was originally planned for online streaming before being offered airtime by the Kapatid Network. To kick things off, Wilyonaryo will debut on January 25 (two days before the “pambansang kuya” turns 65), via its official website wilyonaryo.com.
“Wilyonaryo” is not just another game show. Alongside his beloved games, Kuya Wil introduces “WILPICK,” a raffle-style game that lets anyone from Luzon, Visayas, to Mindanao try their luck and aim for life-changing prizes. Approved by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), “WILPICK” gives Filipinos across the country the chance to win millions without even leaving their homes. Previously, his shows’ contestants had to be in the studio to try their luck at opening the boxes. Now, participants can join from the comfort of their homes and still have a chance to become millionaires.
For Willie, “Ibang level na nga ito. Kumbaga, nag-innovate na tayo dahil pinagsama natin ang mundo ko ng game show at online gaming para hindi na lang sa loob ng studio may mananalo. Binibigyan natin ng fair na chance ‘yung mga kababayan natin na nasa iba’t ibang panig ng bansa. Pupunta lang sila sa website namin na wilyonaryo.com para mag-register at mag-avail ng tickets, at may tyansa na silang mapili at manalo ng hindi lang isa, dalawa, o tatlong milyon, pwedeng mas malaki pa. (This is truly the next level. We’ve innovated by combining my world of game shows with online gaming so winning isn’t limited to those in the studio. We’re giving our fellow Filipinos from all over the country a fair chance. They just need to visit our website, wilyonaryo.com, to register and avail of tickets. They could be selected to win not just one, two, or three million, but even more.)”
During the Wilyonaryo Grand Press Conference, Kuya Wil gave the media a preview of how WILPICK is played. The mechanics are simple: players must first register at wilyonaryo.com. Once registered, they can buy tickets using their chosen combination. They will select four non-repeating letters from A to Z and one color from twelve options. The player with the correct combination and sequence of the four letters and one color wins millions! There are also consolation prizes for players who match some of the letters and colors revealed in the boxes. From Monday to Friday, there are three raffle draws everyday, and for just ₱60, a ticket is already valid for three chances to win.
“Mahigit dalawang dekada na akong game show host, pero hindi pa rin nagbabago ang hangarin ko na kahit papaano ay mabigyan ng panalo sa buhay ang mas maraming Pilipino (I’ve been a game show host for over two decades, but my goal has never changed, to give as many Filipinos as possible a chance to win in life),” Willie said. He added, “Kaya talagang ginawa at pinaghandaan ko itong ‘Wilyonaryo’ dahil sigurado akong napakaraming mga Pilipino ang mananalo (That’s why I created and carefully prepared ‘Wilyonaryo,’ because I’m confident that many Filipinos will win).”
In celebration of Kuya Wil’s 65th birthday, Wilyonaryo will premiere on January 25, Sunday, at 7:00 PM. It’s his birthday, but he’s the one giving gifts to the viewers! There’s so much more to look forward to, so register now at wilyonaryo.com, avail of tickets, watch the show, and find out if you’ll be the program’s very first millionaire.
