Welcome, this is my very first recap and I will be recapping Miljoenenjacht's New Years special live! It starts in one hour from now and is two hours long. I'll be only recapping the buzzer round and the final because the other two are too boring and reliant on Dutch knowledge.

They're promising even bigger prizes than normal and there is a hilariously overkill shiny 3D "3 x 5 MILJOEN EURO" graphic.
Linda has appeared on the stage and the briefcase models have appeared already! (They walk twice in Miljoenenjacht, once at the start and one just before the final)

Ten blocks with nine cities. Apeldoorn is represented twice.
LTL for € 10.000 will be held 3 times this episode.

Round 1 has 6 big cases instead of the usual 5.

First question: How many Rembrandt artpieces from the Rijksmuseum's own collection can be seen on "Alle Rembrandts"?
382.
Closest guess was by someone in Zoetemeer, chair 39, Coby van Dalen-de Jel. Elderly lady with short white hair. She doesn't take the briefcase prize.
Selected case 3 - 9-days two-days travel to Mozambique and € 1.000 in travel money - given to Mirjan van Langen from Holten.

Second question: There are 4 images of celebrity couples. How many years have these couples been married, added together, based off the figures from 1 January 2019?
45.
Loads of people have it right, fastest was a woman from Almere called Katie Laarman. Middle-aged woman, selects the game and not the case.
Selected case 4 - an all-inclusive weekend rsort in a big 5-star hotel in Amsterdam and € 500 in travel money - given to from Ans Le nsink-Wibbelink from Harfsen

Third question: How many times does the word Waterloo occur in Abba's song Waterloo, which won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974?
Twenty times.
16 people got it right, fastest was Henny Veenstra from Holten. Goes for the game.
Selected case 2 - an electric BMW with obviously fake "Miljoenenjacht" license plate.
Given to Anouska Smit from Drunen

Missed 4th question
Case 1 chpsem. 10000 euro VTWonen cheque
given to Henny Veenstra from Holten WHO GAVE A CAR AWAY RIGHT EARLIER!

How many footballers have made 25 or more goals according to the KNVB?
Maarten Krabbendam from Apelhoorn 2nd
Selects next round
Selected case 6 contained € 25.000
(Case 5 contains € 500 for each person in their block)

Nel van Holten got € 25.000

How many percent of Vrouw.nl readers are correct when saying how many sexual partners she had?

76%

3 had it correct, fastest was Tino Lardinois from Geleen

Everyone in the Geleen block gets 500 euro and a midweek in a vacation park in the Netherlands by choice!

Buzzer round now.

Katie and Coby are the semifinalists!

COBY STOPS WITH € 28.400!
€ 49.000 was the limit.
(Note: Forgot to mention Katie had 2 sons and she's married to her man for 14 years, and Coby had a new boyfriend she met at a sportschool.)

Two people get a bonus prize and Holten got € 2.019 per person for answering a special question correctly.
Two male briefcase holders hold briefcases - one gives the candidate the chance to play with the mini case and the other one is an extra prize. (Mini case is the replacement for the bell. The mini case holder selects a case from 1 to 26 and if the main candidate selects that number the mini case holder opens the mini case holder gets the amount inside if it's € 50.000 or lower, € 50.000 if it's higher than € 50.000 and € 100.000 if the 5 million is inside).

A woman called Carla got the extra prize (a car)
Gerrit got the mini case

We're back with the final.

Katie selected case 17 because its her house number and something about births.
Gerrit selected case 4 as the minicse.

Katie's man is called Ronald, they know eachother from a computer shop. They have two boys, one 12 and one 14. She wishes for a new bathroom in her house, a new car and an expansion of the living room.

The board is the same as the 2006-2012 one except 75k has been changed into 2m.

Oh, this special episode is because of the Postcode Kanjer (biggest prize of the year by the Postcode Lottery), and they have given € 27 million to players in a village in the northern province of Groningen called Glimmen (9756 AK). A couple is holding a cheque for € 8,1 million!

Sorry for ending this so hasted, but I haven't slept for 36 hours! Sorry, and see you all until the next Miljoenenjacht!

I originally planned to recap the first episode of the new season but the player managed to lose more money than even Luis flippin' Green... No thanks.
