I was thinking that on one of Ken Jennings's last days before hiatus he broke his $52,000 mark. Are you sure he didn't?
Posted by: Cathy at August 5, 2004 08:52 PMYes, the last day before the hiatus, he won 75,000. This was written prior to that day.
Posted by: peninah at August 5, 2004 09:27 PMQuestion.... By what amount did Ken win over Rich Hartz on the 09/07/04 show? I have a bet with a friend that he won by just a few hundred dollars. My friend says he won by several thousand. I can't find this on any site so I thought you would know.
Thanks,
Carolyn
I'm not sure...
