    If you do the math in your head, you'd see that the largest pot contribution to a game under normal circumstances is $1900--$300 for the center box and $200 for the others.
    However, occasionally a special "red box" category comes up called "Secret Category", which doubles the value of the pot if the question is answered correctly. If this is chosen several times in a game, the pot can explode quite quickly, reaching a theoretical maximum of $76,800 if it happens to be chosen for all subsequent boxes--$300 for the center box then doubled eight times.
    For obvious reasons, the category wasn't introduced after the first tied match.
    Eventually the producers grew tired of such ridiculous developments and replaced "Secret Category" with "Grand Question", which added $1000 instead. This still led to some rather large pots.
    Supposedly the largest pot was more than $46,000 after six tied games and not involving the "Secret Category", but I am not sure how that happened as the normal limits per game were less than $2000. Even if every question was the Grand Question it seems dubious.

    Amazing win! They should’ve played the win theme they play when someone wins a car. I know his next game would be for a car, but still…

    It seems better then perfect that the most dominant champion 🏆 on Tic Tac Dough should won the most dollar 💵 pot 🍲 ever.

    I thought they had to beat the Joker I.n This game?

      nah you're thinking of "The Joker's Wild", which had a similar endgame but you spun reels with dollar amounts and had to avoid "The Devil".
      Both shows were produced by Barry & Enright, though.
