On one of the most exciting episodes of WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE this season, 14-year-old contestant Sojas Wagle from Springdale, Arkansas, wins $250,000 on Tuesday, November 15, 2016. On the second episode of Whiz Kids Week, which features some of the most talented young minds in the country, the tenth grader from Springdale, Arkansas answers the $250,000 question correctly and decides to walk with the colossal prize money after looking at the $500,000 question. Remarkably, Sojas is only the second solo contestant to make it all the way up to the half a million dollar question so far this season.

A student at Har-Ber High School, Wagle is a past winner of the Arkansas State Geographic Bee and took third place in the 2015 National Geographic Bee. Sojas wants to be a medical malpractice lawyer when he grows up.
