The highly anticipated conclusion of Million Dollar Secret arrived on April 9, 2025, with the release of episodes 7 and 8. After a series of intense eliminations, three contestants—Cara, Corey, and Sam—advanced to the finale, all vying for the coveted $1 million cash prize. In the thrilling final episode titled Get Rich or Die Trying, Cara emerged as the triumphant winner, securing the grand cash prize.
In the finale’s uniquely strategic challenge, the contestants were tasked with a high-stakes game involving the secret swapping of box contents. Each player, except Sam, was permitted to exchange the contents of their box privately. Due to a disadvantage earned earlier, Sam’s role focused on influencing the decisions of her competitors, rather than directly participating in the swaps.
Despite the various strategies at play, Cara ultimately opened her box to discover the $1 million, triumphantly surpassing Corey and Sam.
“I did it. I’m the millionaire,”
“She got me”— Reflections from Corey on Cara’s Winning Strategy
The final challenge was described as a “game of wits,”led by host Peter Serafinowicz, who laid out the rules for the remaining contestants. He clarified that Cara and Corey, who had performed well earlier in the episode, would alternate turns swapping the box contents, while Sam could only influence their choices, creating a tense atmosphere filled with anticipation.
“Sam, as our third-place player, you will not get to move any boxes, but you still have a chance to influence what Corey and Cara do,”
During the game, Cara opted for a cunning approach, intentionally acting “obvious”to lead Corey to believe she was the secret millionaire. Her ultimate goal was to persuade him into making a box swap that would place the million-dollar prize back into her reach.
As the gameplay unfolded, Cara put Corey on the spot, questioning him about any deceit. His response, labeling her inquiries as “odd,”led him to redirect his suspicions onto Sam, accusing her of misleading him with clues about the millionaire’s identity. This strategic deflection allowed Cara to execute her plan, resulting in a swap that ultimately favored her.
“I have to go with my intuition because it’s gotten me this far. I can’t waver,”
With hearts racing, the contestants joined Peter for the moment of truth. As they collectively opened their boxes, Cara overwhelmingly celebrated as she discovered the life-changing sum of $1 million. Emotional and elated, she later shared her hopes that her family would be proud of her achievement.
Peter then revealed Cara’s true identity as the undercover millionaire, acknowledging her bold decision to swap the money into her own box from Corey’s. In a moment of gracious reflection, Corey remarked,
“I really felt in my heart that the money was going to be there. And it hurts bad. It kills. But she played a good game. And she got me.”
Sam also recognized Cara’s skillful gameplay, impressed by her unwavering composure throughout the competition. Now, all episodes of Million Dollar Secret are available for streaming exclusively on Netflix, offering fans an exciting chance to relive the intense moments of the show.
