‘Jeopardy!’ Contestant Shatters Single-Game Record With $110,000 Win
A Jeopardy! contestant just beat the house in record fashion.
James Holzhauer, a 34-year-old professional sports gambler from Las Vegas, won Tuesday’s episode with a total of $110,914. That was more than enough to set a new record for single-day cash winnings, the syndicated series said in a press release.
The previous record of $77,000 was set in 2010 by Roger Craig.
