Matt Amodio continues to break Jeopardy! records! On September 24, the champion made history as the third contestant ever to surpass $1 million in total winnings with his 28th consecutive win. With the $48,800 won during Friday’s episode, Amodio has now earned a total of $1,004,001 since his first appearance on the trivia show earlier this summer. The Ph.D. student from New Haven, Connecticut, continues to cement his place as the third-highest winning contestant in non-tournament play. Ahead of him are champions James Holzhauer with $2,462,216 over 32 victories and Ken Jennings with $2,520,700 over a 74-game winning streak. “This was beyond my wildest dreams going in,” said Amodio. “I knew it was a possibility, but I thought it was a very remote possibility, and to have it actually happen is unbelievable.” Amodio will return on Monday, September 27, with the hopes of winning his 29th consecutive game.
