In Star Trek, how old was Will Riker when his mother died?

In Pulp Fiction, Vincent said that Dutch people put what on their french fries in Amsterdam?

If you can answer these questions correctly, you could be one step closer to becoming a millionaire. If you register for Rogers On Demand Online, not only can you catch up on the latest TV shows and movies from your computer, you can also enter for a chance to win a million bucks.

Here’s the deal

We just launched the Rogers On Demand Online Million Dollar Trivia Challenge, a trivia game on our Facebook page that tests your knowledge of popular TV shows and movies available on Rogers On Demand Online. By answering questions correctly, you’ll score points that will help you earn a chance to compete in a final trivia show-down for one million dollars.

How do I play?

In order to play, you need to be registered for Rogers On Demand Online. If you’re already registered, you’re good to go. You can start playing the trivia game on Facebook. If not, there’s no time like the present to set up your free account. In addition to the trivia challenge, you can also enjoy exclusive content for free, plus rent and instantly stream new release and classic movies.

More ballots = better odds

You can earn additional points by posting your scores to your Facebook wall, inviting friends to play or helping them get a few questions right, too. Warning: It’s seriously addictive.

When will I find out if I won?

Five finalists will be selected in August 2011 to participate in a final live show-down for the grand prize of one million dollars. In a Price is Right-style game, the five finalists will each, in turn, punch three holes in a board with random prize amounts. If one person punches three holes with one million dollars, they will win that amount!

For more details on the contest, including the full rules, visit our Facebook page.

So, what are you waiting for? Register for Rogers On Demand Online and then head over to Facebook to start showing off your entertainment knowledge and you could end up a million dollars richer. Good luck!

And if you know the answers to the questions above, enter them in the comments below. We’ll provide the answers later this week.

UPDATE (October 4, 2011, 9:33 a.m): Huge thank you to all of our contestants for their participation in the Rogers On Demand Online Million Dollar Trivia Challenge. On Friday September 30^th, our five finalists competed live on Citytv’s Breakfast Television for the chance to become the first Rogers On Demand Online millionaire.

I registered, and found out that even though I subscribe to Treehouse for my kids, I cannot access on Rogers On Demand Online. The rationale being I don’t have the right “package” which isn’t available to me in Ottawa. Nice scam.

  Thanks for the feedback. You can watch Treehouse on Rogers On Demand Online if you subscribe to the Family Fun theme pack as part of your Cable TV subscription. If you subscribe to this theme pack and you’re still unable to access the content, please drop me a line at OnDemandOnline@RogersOnDemand.com with your Rogers On Demand Online username and I’ll look into it for you.

    So, I sent an email to you, as per your request….
    
    But to reiterate, even though I have all the channels in the Family Fun theme pack, that isn’t good enough? What package(s) do I have the give me those channels if it isn’t the Family Fun Theme pack?

Hi Lindsay. Can you tell me – is Rogers on Demand available on my iPad now? I read that Rogers was going to launch it at some point in 2011. Have you do so as of yet?

Thanks,
Paul
