Thanks a million!

In my previous post, I talked about how I'm taking over Irish expressions. Today, it happened to me again. I wanted to photocopy one page in the library, but had forgotten my copy card. I asked a girl if I could pay her to photocopy the page for me. She did it and didn't even desire any money for it!
It struck me as the ideal opportunity to exclaim something I had heard many Irish say already: "Thanks a million!" I still thought it sounded somewhat unusual, but the girl clearly perceived nothing strange. I think I might use that expression more often, however I wonder if an American or even a British person would understand it. I should try it out one day.
