Beş Yüz Bin Kutlaması[]
Beş Yüz Bin is the same as 500.000 TL. The Beş yüz bin Kutlaması was a seperate show which carried on just after the adverts at the end of Var Mısın Yok Musun. It was first ever broadcasted at 1 AM Turkish Time on October 24. It was quickly prepared during the adverts. It showed the final moments before the first ever 500.000 TL winner's box was opened, and the celebrations that followed. The lights on the floor of the studio shot out sparkles, the balloons and confetti reigned down and all the box openers and the audience came down to main stage to congratulate the first ever winner. While showing the contestant being congratulated, the show showed black and white footage of the contestant (who was formally a box opener) giving advise. When 10 500.000 TL were put on the board, the camera kept showing the balloon and confetti bag on the celing of the studio, which would be opened should anyone win 500.000 TL.
