“Ghost Hunters” Win $57,600 for Charity on Halloween “Millionaire”
SyFy’s Ghost Hunters, Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson, returned to Who Wants to be a Millionaire to face host Meredith Vieira for a second Halloween special. For the second straight year the duo won big money for charity. The Ghost Hunters made it to Round 2, Classic Millionaire, yet again and walked away with $57,600 for their charity, the Hasbro Children’s Hospital. They made it to Round 2 with their Ask the Audience Lifeline remaining.
The Ghost Hunters‘s $100,000 question asked, “In order to dig a hole through the center of the Earth and wind up in Beijing, China, you’ll have to start in which of these countries? A: Colombia; B: Argentina; C: Mexico; D: Canada”. Jason and Grant used their Ask the Audience Lifeline, and 36% of the audience said B. Anyone who’s watched Millionaire knows how risky it is to trust the audience in upper tier questions, and they walked away with their bank of $57,600. The correct answer was indeed B. This means that the Hasbro Children’s Hospital has collectively received $118,700 courtesy of the Ghost Hunters.

Watching this at home, it seemed like simple logic to me to eliminate Mexico and Canada as they are in the Northern Hemisphere with China, but there is also a lot less pressure on me.
