Jeopardy Contestant Passes One Million Dollar Mark and Isn’t Done Yet

Ken Jennings may want to start exercising his thumb in case a matchup of the greatest minds is ever assembled. There’s a new contender coming for his championship crown. On Tuesday, James Holzhauer added once again to his incredible “Jeopardy!” winnings, surpassing the $1 million mark on his 14th appearance. The Las Vegas professional gambler broke the hit game show’s previous one-day earnings record of $77,000 with a whopping $131,127 last week. Speaking to the Associated Press about Holzhauer, Jennings, who racked up $2.5 million in his 74 visits, admitted, “James is just a perfect ‘Jeopardy!’ machine.”

Always remember, today’s brainiacs could be tomorrow’s millionaires.  So if you’re a bully, keep that in mind before you consider giving another wedgie!
