Ποιος θέλει να γίνει εκατομμυριούχος (English translation: Who wants to become a millionaire?, transliteration: Poios thelei na ginei ekatommyriouchos) is a game show based on the British Who Wants to be a Millionaire? format debuted in 1999 on Mega Channel. The player had to answer 15 questions correctly in order to win ₯50 million up to 2001, €150,000 up to 2004, and €250,000 in 2006. In 2010, the show was chosen as the most popular game show in 20 years of Mega Channel program. From 1999 the show was hosted by Spiros Papadopoulos, and in 2006 - by Thodoris Atheridis. There were three lifelines - fifty-fifty (50:50), phone a friend and ask the audience, but in 2006, the "switch the question" lifeline was added, but if a contestant wanted to use it, he had to give up one of his other lifelines. The show was broadcast from 1999 to 2002 on Mega Channel, from 2002 to 2004 on NET and in 2006 on Alpha TV. The program could be also watched in Cyprus on RIK2.

The show is scheduled to be revived in April 2022 on ANT1 with Grigoris Arnaoutoglou as host.
