من سيربح المليون (English translation: Who will win the million?, transliteration: Man sa yarbah al-malyoon) is a pan-Arab game show, part of the international Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? franchise. Its host for much of its inception was George Kurdahi. The show's prize was SR 1,000,000. It aired on pan-Arab television channel MBC1 from 27 November 2000 until May 2004, and was later revived by MBC as من سيربح 2 مليون, with an increased top prize of SR 2,000,000.
On 12 January 2010, MBC1 revived the show again, this time using the 12-question format that was introduced by the original UK version in 2007, as well as introducing an "extra-high-risk" format that would later be used in Russia and India, and this version had a top prize of SR 1,000,000. This version concluded on 10 August 2010, after one season.
On 16 October 2015, the show was revived for a third time, this time airing on OSN Yahala. This version used the 15-question format, aired for one season before concluding on 8 April 2016, and had a top prize of SR 2,000,000. On 18 September 2021, as part of MBC's 35th anniversary celebrations, the show was revived for a one-off special, in which pairs of celebrities would participate instead of civilians, and they would be playing for charity. This episode used the original version's payout structure, and had a top prize of SR 1,000,000.
In 2024, it was announced that the show would once again be revived, this time airing on Dubai TV, who had previously made a version based on the Hot Seat spin-off format, and this version is hosted by Syrian actor Kosai Khauli.
