Culver City, Calif. (CBSNew) -- A 34-year-old professional sports gambler from Las Vegas won more than $110,000 on "Jeopardy!" Tuesday, breaking the record for single-day cash winnings.
The show said in a news release that James Holzhauer won the game with a total of $110,914. The previous record of $77,000 was set by Roger Craig in 2010.
The release said Holzhauer's $110,914 total "has a special numerical significance: His daughter was born November 9, 2014(11/09/14)."
