Ben Affleck wins $1 million on US 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?'

Actor Ben Affleck secured one million dollars on the celebrity edition of the US game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" The 53-year-old star, playing alongside "Jeopardy!" champion Jamie Ding, faced a challenging question in the final round.

The question posed was: "Which of these names do not belong to turkeys that a US president has pardoned on Thanksgiving?" The options were "Peanut Butter & Jelly," "Tater & Tot," "Mac & Cheese," and "Spaghetti & Meatball." Affleck initially struggled, opting to use the phone-a-friend lifeline, which proved unhelpful.

Co-host Jimmy Kimmel provided a crucial hint, suggesting that "Spaghetti & Meatball" was likely the incorrect answer. Kimmel reasoned that this combination sounded less like a presidential turkey pardon and more like a meal Donald Trump might enjoy. This insight proved correct, guiding Affleck and Ding to the winning answer.

As is customary with celebrity specials, the million-dollar prize will not go to the contestants personally. Instead, the entire winnings will be donated to Ben Affleck's foundation, which supports projects in the eastern Congo.
