Holzhauer shattered that record winning $131127 on his best day and exceeded it on 15 other occasions. He now holds 21 of the top 25 spots on the show’s list of the highest single-day winnings. According to Holzhauer there were 2 keys to his success on the show. On the one hand his gambling-influenced strategy of aggressively seeking out higher-value questions while scouring the question board for Daily Double questions and making large bets.
