'Jeopardy!' Record-Breaker James Holzhauer Gifts Part Of Winnings

NAPERVILLE, IL -- Naperville native and seemingly unstoppable "Jeopardy!" winner James Holzhauer has shattered record after record for daily winnings on the game show and he's using his winnings to make a difference in his local community in Las Vegas. Holzhauer, who has won more than $1.5 million on "Jeopardy!" so far, has made donations to Ronald McDonald House, the Las Vegas Natural History Museum, and the Las Vegas-Clark County Library, CNBC reports.

Holzhauer's donation to the Las Vegas-Clark County Library was celebrated by library staff on Twitter, calling Holzhauer a "true champion for libraries."

Holzhauer has made no secret about his love of libraries; he's even dished that reading children's books at local libraries has been part of his secret as a "Jeopardy!" whiz.

CNBC reports that Holzhauer also donated $10,000 to Las Vegas Natural History Museum. The funds will help support free admission for students who live in areas with lower incomes. His contributions to Ronald McDonald House will be used to help critically ill children and their families.

Holzhauer's "Jeopardy!" winning streak is temporarily on hold as the game show conducts its Teacher Tournament. Holzhauer will be back on "Jeopardy!" starting Monday, May 20.
