Ben Affleck scored the top prize on ABC's "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," winning $1 million during Season 5, Episode 2. The episode featured Affleck playing alongside "Jeopardy!" champion Jamie Ding, and the pair reached the game's biggest possible result.
The winning moment came with help from Jimmy Kimmel, according to the episode details tied to the broadcast. That outcome places Affleck among the celebrity contestants who have managed to go all the way on the revived quiz show.
Affleck's victory also adds an interesting follow-up to last year's result, when Matt Damon reportedly won the same $1 million prize on the program. With that, the longtime friends now share matching "Millionaire" milestones one year apart.
For viewers tracking the current season, the episode delivered a headline-making finish and one of the show's standout celebrity wins. Affleck and Ding's successful run gave Season 5 an early marquee moment on ABC.
