What is a million?
It is a very big number.

10 x 10 = 100. Ten 10s make a hundred

10 x 100 = 1000. Ten 100s make a thousand

100 x 100 = 10000. Hundred 100s make ten thousand

100 x 1000 = 100000. Hundred 1000s make a lakh

But the word 'lakh' is not used in European and American countries. When someone wins a One-lakh lottery people in these countries would say. "I won hundred thousand!"

one lakh!!

one hundred thousand!!

1000 x 1000 = 1000000. Thousand 1000s make a million.
In India, we say l0 lakhs instead of one million.

ten lakhs!!

one million!!
