List of top prize winners on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

Below is a list of the winners of the top prize for each version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?.

Elimination of Winnings
Some players had answered the top prize question correctly, but did not actually win the prize because of ineligibility, legal issues, or elimination from a contest.

Top Prize Losers
While more people answered the question correctly, a few people internationally got the top prize question wrong. It has especially happened the most in the Japanese version of the show, having had 40 contestants to have ever done such thing. Note that in the Japanese Super Millionaire (10 question format), a contestant cannot walk away from the final two questions, while in the Australian "Hot Seat" version, a contestant cannot walk away at any question. In other versions, contestants may walk away without answering the question.

Returning Contestants After Top Prize Loss
On rarer occasions, contestants return after answering the final question incorrectly.
