In the Italian version, there are 20 boxes; each person holding a box is a representative of one of the 20
regions of Italy .The highest prize is €500,000, but on some occasions, there's a special €1,000,000 or €2,000,000 prize. In addition to small money prizes, like €0.50, there are three gag prizes -- usually items like
salami , a year's supply ofsoap , or stuffed animals like hippos andweasel s (from season2006 -2007 an hippo prize took place instead of the €500 one).The box named Pacco X (meaning mystery package) may contain anything from €0.02 to €200,000.
In Affari Tuoi, to refuse an offer, instead of saying, "No Deal!", you say, "Rifiuto l'offerta e vado avanti," meaning "I refuse the offer, and go on". To accept, you say, "Accetto l'offerta." There is no button to push. (Actually, most international versions of "Deal" don't use a button and cover)
In the Fall of 2006, "Codacons", an Italian consumers organisation, published a list of high prize boxes ("pacchi") remaining in the current series, listing the odds of what boxes will be chosen.
The Spanish version of "Deal or no Deal", "
¡Allá tú! ", aired by Mediaset'sTelecinco is exactly the same format as the Italian version (but there's a box for 20 province of Spain); the British version uses boxes like the Italian one; The French version, "À prendre ou à laisser ", is different in format, but uses a "box for each region" concept.The highest win in the history of the programme occurred on April 2006, when a woman won €1,000,000.
