Matt Amodio, the 28-time (!!!) Jeopardy! champion, accomplished something only two other contestants can say they’ve done: He passed the $1 million mark last week in regular-season winnings.
He joins James Holzhauer and Ken Jennings with that feat, and on the all-time earnings list WITH tournaments, he’s joins Brad Rutter as well.
What’s even wilder is he’s just four games away from tying Holzhauer in consecutive nights won — if he keeps winning this week, he’ll do it on Thursday.
Of course, Holzhauer made twice as much money over that 32-win period, but let’s not diminish what Amodio’s done and continues to do. It’s amazing!
Seriously, this is wild stuff:
