This was a special moment to watch - $1m won by a restaurant industry icon @davidchang. He jokes many times in this clip (and on Twitter, afterwards) about his gambling problem paying off, but really he does all the right things that are so easy to get wrong in a game show! https://twitter.com/espn/status/1333477439096430593

Notice when Kimmel quotes that in 20 years no celebrity has won $1m on this show. Chang immediately asks how many of them got the final question wrong. He recognizes that almost nobody would risk losing $468k if they were unsure of the answer. But he trusts his lifeline!

Additionally, he says the gameplan coming into this show was to go for $1m. The top prize is not only a donation for the hospitality industry but also the added recognition and attention they will get from the excitement of winning. He sees that he's playing for more than $1m.

It's not easy to decide to risk losing this much money! Perhaps being a problem gambler did work to his advantage here. It wasn't his money at stake. But fearlessness is so important to making good decisions, and the circumstances allowed him to do just that.
