There's a Limit to the Most You Can Win in an Episode

Although no contestant has ever been able to achieve this, the maximum winnable sum per game is $566,400. A contestant would have to sweep both boards, find all three Daily Doubles (in the top tier and then at the end of every round), make them true Daily Doubles, and then wager all of their money in Final Jeopardy. Is it possible? Maybe, but the most a contestant has ever won in a single game is $131,127 on April 17, 2019 by James Holzhauer.
