A competitor from Dundalk He is due to appear on RTE on Sunday night as local Philip McGuinness takes part in The Money List from 6.30pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.

Presented by Baz Ashmawy, The Money List is a quiz where two teams of strangers compete for a huge cash prize by completing a series of lists. The series airs on weekends, Saturdays and Sundays every week.

The show sees two teams of complete strangers challenged to fill in the missing answers on a list. The more lists they complete, the more money they earn. Lists can be about anything from “US Presidents” to “Madonna Hit Singles”.

The first team to win two lists will play for €15,000. Each correct answer on the list is a step up the money ladder to that top cash prize. As champions progress, they can bank their money or continue, but one wrong answer will lose them all. As the winning team progresses up the Money List, if they continue to win, they can continue to win until another team of competitors eliminates them.

This Sunday, Saturday night’s champions will take on Waterford’s Gemma and Kildare’s Graeme for the chance to win €15,000. The winners go on to face new challengers Mary from Kildare and Philip from Louth.

The Money List presenter Baz Ashmawy commented: “I’m so excited The Money List is back! The fact that it will take place every night on Saturday and Sunday really adds to the excitement, with up to €30,000 each night.

“This season we have an amazing line-up of contestants, lucky foreigners from all over the country who have the chance to win some amazing amounts of money. It will be brilliant!”
