Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox television $25 Million Dollar Hoax is an unscripted television series that was originally shown on NBC from November 8 to November 22, 2004.

The series is noted to be similar in style to FOX's My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance, which aired in 2004.[1] It is based on a United Kingdom show titled The Million Pound Hoax,[1] broadcast on Sky One earlier that year.[2]

Synopsis

In the series, daughter Chrissy Sanford plays a hoax on her family by convincing them she had won a $25,000,000 lottery prize through the internet, and that it had changed her from a sweet girl into a spend-a-holic.[3][4]

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

Chrissy successfully pulled off the hoax, which won her and her family over $400,000 in cash and prizes.[4]
