Cris Pannullo, of Ocean City, is on a six-day winning streak in which he has won $162,080.
Pannullo's also guaranteed a spot in the Jeopardy! 2023 Tournament of Champions next year.
On the Friday, Oct. 7, episode, Ken Jennings asked Pannullo, a customer service operations manager, how he plans to spend his earnings.
Cris quickly replied: "In this economy, Ken. I'm just throwing it all under my mattress. The hard part is going to be getting it all flat so I'm not laying on a lumpy mattress, but with some time I'll get it done."
"If you're thinking we send a briefcase of twenties, let me disabuse you," Jennings replied.
Cris hit back: "Ones or tens preferably."
Before Jeopardy!, Pannullo was also on “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” in 2018, winning a total of $5,000.
Jennings holds the all-time Jeopardy! record with 74 straight wins, in which he totaled $2,520,700.
