Ben Affleck and Jeopardy! champ Jamie Ding took home the $1 million grand prize on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, putting the proceeds toward the Oscar winner’s charity Eastern Congo Initiative, the first U.S.-based organization providing humanitarian aid to support communities in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. As for the winning question that Affleck and Ding had to answer to receive the top prize, they were asked on the July 29 episode of the show, “In an annual Thanksgiving tradition, all but which of these have been the names of turkeys pardoned by a U.S. president?” After guessing a pair of birds named Spaghetti and Meatballs, the duo were met with confetti and a giant check for Affleck’s charity. They jumped for joy and embraced for a big hug to celebrate the win. And the Good Will Hunting actor’s win came nearly a year after his longtime BFF Matt Damon won the game show alongside another iconic Jeopardy! star, former champion-turned-host Ken Jennings. In total, five celebrity pairings—which also include Oscar Nuñez and Kate Flannery; Ike Barinholtz and Alan Barinholtz; as well as David Chang with Phone-A-Friend assistance from Mina Kimes—have won the $1 million for various charitable organizations.
