Ben Affleck, alongside 'Jeopardy!' winner Jamie Ding, secured the $1 million grand prize on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' during the latest episode airing on July 30, 2026. The celebrity and game show champion duo reached the final question after a tense build-up.

Previously, on March 13, 2026, to April 24, 2026, Jamie Ding had achieved a remarkable 31-game winning streak on 'Jeopardy!'. This prior success clearly provided a strong foundation for their combined performance on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire'.
