Hi, I am making a Spanish newspaper with a group for my Spanish class and I am in charge of the finance section. My title is English is How to make a million euros in one month but in Spanish would the translation be

a)¿Como hacer un million de euros en un mes?

b)¿Como ganar un million de euros en un mes?

Also I am not sure if it would be un million de euros or un million euros

Thanks!

Do not capitalize "euro' as it is not a proper noun. You would not capitalize the following either: "yen", "dollar", "peso", etc. - jphip, Mar 31, 2014

I would say: Cómo ganar un millón de Euros en un mes

the verb 'ganar' means to win, but it also means to earn

The preposition en is used to indicate the idea of something occurring in/within the space of a certain amount of time

I think you are trying to tell people how to make a million Euros in a week not asking the question, How do you make a million Euros in a week? So, if what i have just said is correct, then you do not need the ? mark at the end of your sentence.

I hope this helps smile

To my knowledge, the correct sentence is: ¿Como ganar un millon de euros en un mes?

ganar means win/earn

million is millon, probably the autocorrect is playing tricks.
