Trivia[]

  • In his 1st game (#4122, aired 2002-07-02), Jeff set a new single-day cash winnings record of $39,999, breaking the previous record of $38,400 set earlier in the season by Ben Sternberg in his 3rd game (#4076, aired 2002-04-29). (However, Jeff's single-day cash winnings record did not top the record of $34,000 set by Jerome Vered in his 4th game, #1794, aired 1992-05-21, if adjusted for doubled dollar values.) Jeff's record stood until the beginning of Season 19, when Myron Meyer won $50,000 in his 1st game (#4139, aired 2002-09-05).
