Lucky 13 is an American game show that premiered on ABC on July 18, 2024. The series is hosted by Shaquille O'Neal and Gina Rodriguez.

Contents

Format

Two complete games are played per episode, involving a group of 13 contestants. At the start of each game, one contestant is chosen at random and asked a series of 13 true/false questions, but is not immediately told which of their responses are correct. After answering all the questions, the contestant is given the opportunity to change any one answer if they wish, by using a Pepsi Play.

The contestant must then choose a Lucky Range that they believe contains their actual number of correct answers given, with cash values set according to the table below. If the Lucky Range is anything other than 13, they also choose a Lucky Number in that range that represents their guess at the exact number of correct answers.

Lucky Range1-34-67-910-1213
Winnings$5,000$15,000$25,000$100,000$1,000,000
Lucky Number Winnings$30,000$40,000$50,000$125,000-

The answers are then revealed one at a time, in a different order than they were asked. Near the end of the sequence, the hosts offer a guaranteed cash prize that is equal to a fraction of the money at stake. The contestant may accept this offer and end the game early, or reveal the rest of the answers. If the contestant has chosen the correct Lucky Range, they win the money associated with it and can receive an additional $25,000 if they have also chosen the correct Lucky Number. If their number of correct answers falls outside their Lucky Range, they leave with nothing. [1]

Production

On May 3, 2024, it was announced that ABC had ordered the series, with a premiere date of July 18, 2024. [2] [3] [4]
