"American Idol" executive producer Nigel Lythgoe has been tapped by CBS to produce a game show pilot called "Secret Fortune," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The show’s catch is that contestants begin the show with 24 envelopes, each of which contains a check ranging from puny to huge amounts. In the course of the game, 23 of the envelopes are destroyed.

The project is based on a Wild Rover Productions format and Wild Rover’s Phil Morrow will also serve as executive producer with Lythgoe, the story notes.
