Ben Affleck is celebrating his glory daze.
Indeed, the Academy Award winner is adding another achievement on his long list of accolades: Who Wants to Be a Millionaire champion.
The 53-year-old partnered with Jeopardy! champ Jamie Ding to take home the $1 million grand prize in the ABC game show. Although the duo aren’t taking home the check themselves, with their prize benefitting the actor’s 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.
