WASHINGTON (SBG) --James Holzhauer is causing a stir among "Jeopardy" fans after breaking the record for single day cash winnings on the show with $110,914. The last time this record was broken, the amount totaled to $77,000, Decider reports. Holzhauer, who also happens to be a professional sports gambler, wagered $38,000 during a Final Jeopardy question about physics. TVLine reports the earnings number is especially significant because his daughter was born on November 9th, 2014 (11/09/14).
