In conjunction with Millionaire 2007, Capcom Interactive, Verizon Wireless and Buena Vista Television are giving away a chance to take the mobile experience to the "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" studios where one lucky winner will have the chance to appear as a contestant on the syndicated game show, hosted by Meredith Vieira.
