The Legend of James Holzhauer
James Holzhauer had more than just a few amazing moments on the show and record-breaking wins. If you’re curious as to what was the most he won in a single game, it was $131,127 on April 17, 2019. Since James showed up and started competing on the game show in April, he has done nothing but shatter records and make money.

He passed the $1 million mark in the shortest time ever and broke the show’s record for single-day cash winnings. Before James came along, the one-day record was held by a man named Roger Craig, who on September 19, 2010, took home $77,000 in a single game. That’s nearly half of what James took home last month in his single-game record breaker.
