There were actually more than a thousand people who took James Randi’s “One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge” between 1964 and 2015, many of them live on stage or broadcast on live television. No one ever successfully completed the scientific testing and won the prize, though.
The Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge was terminated in early 2015 when James Randi retired, so it is no longer available for new applicants today.
