INDIANAPOLIS -- Hundreds of Hoosiers came out Wednesday to take a shot at fame and fortune by trying out for "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?".

The hit ABC game show returns with original host Regis Philbin for a special two-week 10th anniversary special in August.

Producers were in Indianapolis Wednesday to cast would-be millionaires for that series of shows, as well as the syndicated version, hosted by Meredith Vieira, 6News' Julie Pursley reported.

Hundreds of people lined up at conference center on the city's northeast side to put their trivia skills to the test with a 30-question, 10-minute quiz.

Those who passed will be called back in the afternoon for interviews.

"We'll pick anywhere from 20 to 60 people. They can be on the show over a course of two years," said Rich Sirop, "Millionaire" co-executive producer.

People from all over the Midwest came to the Indianapolis auditions, all with ideas of how they'd use their winnings.

Robert Thurman said he wants to reach out to others who are disabled, like himself, so they can afford prosthetics.

"I want to win some money to put it in my foundation so that I can help other people that can't walk or use an arm," he said.

There were also some laid-off workers at the auditions, hoping for a big break.

"I got some bills I have to take care of. Being unemployed, you tend to accumulate those sort of things, and I'm not an exception in that," said Chris Huff.

Show producers said a contestant's circumstances make a difference to Philbin.

"I actually talked to him before we came on the road and asked what type of contestants he wants sitting opposite of him. He definitely said in this economy, find people who are hurting, and let's help them," Sirop said.

The "Millionaire" auditions will visit nine cities to find contestants. Producers said so far, Indianapolis has had one of the biggest turnouts.
