Ben Affleck wins $1 million for charity on ‘Who Wants To Be a Millionaire’

Ben Affleck recently secured a $1 million prize during an appearance on the game show Who Wants To Be a Millionaire. The actor competed alongside Jeopardy champion Jamie Ding and successfully navigated the final round to win the total sum for his chosen charity.

The winnings are earmarked for the Eastern Congo Initiative, a nonprofit organization Affleck co-founded in 2010. During the broadcast, he discussed his commitment to the group and noted that the funds are intended to help contain an Ebola outbreak currently affecting the region.

This appearance follows a similar milestone for Matt Damon, who competed on the same program last year and earned $1 million for his charity, Water.org. The show continues to feature high-profile guests competing to raise money for their respective causes through trivia challenges.
