>>> Émilien is now a celebrity of sorts in France for his record-breaking winning streak on a show called “Les Douze Coups de Midi,” or “The Twelve Strokes of Noon.” Starting Sept. 25, 2023, he competed 647 times and netted 2.56 million euros, about $3 million, in cash and prizes.

But it came to an end Sunday, when a single defeat ended his reign.<<<

Same with Lt. Thom McKee on Tic Tac Dough when he won over $312,000 in 43 games. It also included eight cars and many other prizes.
