$25 Million Dollar Hoax is an unscripted television series commissioned by U.S. network NBC. It is based on a United Kingdom show titled The Million Pound Hoax, broadcast on Sky One earlier in the year.

$25 Million Dollar Hoax consists of three unscripted hour-long episodes in which small-town girl Chrissy Sanford plays a hoax on her family by convincing them she had won a $5,000,000 lottery prize through the internet, and that it had changed her from a sweet girl into a spend-a-holic. This program is an example of reality television.

$25 Million Dollar Hoax contains guest appearances by Ed McMahon, George Gray, and N*SYNC's Lance Bass.

The show was broadcast in the U.S. by NBC, in Canada by Global, and in the United Kingdom by Challenge.

Chrissy successfully pulled off the hoax which won her and her family over $400,000 in cash and prizes.
