U of I alum sets Jeopardy! single day winnings record by earning $110K

Just looking back, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’ve posted about Jeopardy! and its connection to our community three times before this SPlog post here. Twice in 2016, and another time in 2018. U of I alum James Holzhauer becomes my fourth post (though there could be one I’m missing, this is starting to get a little crazy), as the math major set a single day winnings record in the famed game show by raking in $110,914. And he’s not done yet: His four-day earnings thus far total $244,365. Bananas.
