thanks a million

So very grateful

Thanks a million is an emphatic way of expressing gratitude, more effusive than a simple thank you but often casual or even ironic: Thanks a million for covering my shift.

The phrase can shade into sarcasm when someone has created a problem: Thanks a million—now I have to start over.
