Thank you! This answer is the closest to what I was looking for, though "note" wouldn't mean too much to an English-speaking reader, since it's referring to an invoice.

The Million Invoice


Explanation:
It is about invoices (notas) ... each invoice (nota or nota fiscal) obtained in purchases, generates a number and with that number you participate in a drawing of 1 million reais something like "The Million Invoice"

Att: not 'de' but 'do'

The Million Bill


Explanation:
This "nota" refers to a Dollar Bill or a Real Bill, not an invoice.
However, this name is an analogy to the Show do Milhão, and it won't make sense in English unless you find a similar program and devise a analogous name as well.

Millionaire Recipt/Bill


Explanation:
Millionaire would refer to the original title of the show.

And the Nota on the original term its short for "Nota Fiscal", that its close to the receipt you receive after a purchase.
