“Jeopardy!” whiz James Holzhauer surged past the $1 million mark Tuesday, winning a total of $1,061,664 in a 14-day winning streak.
In Final Jeopardy, Holzhauer gave the correct answer “Grant and Lee” to the clue: “On May 1, 1869 these 2 men met at the White House, 4 years & 3 weeks after a more historic meeting between them.”
That brought his daily winnings to $118,816 — an impressive number, but not as big as an earlier win by Holzhauer.
The Naperville, Ill. native currently holds the record for most single-day winnings with $131,127. Before Holzhauer, Robert Craig was the previous record-holder with $77,000 won in a single episode, which Holzhauer bested on the April 9 episode with $110,914 before going on to beat his own record on the April 17 episode.
