The retired Army veteran from Virginia won $240,150 on Friday's Mother's Day CBS episode, including $227,500 cash and a Morocco trip worth $12,650.
She achieved the show's biggest single pricing-game prize in 54 years by advancing through BetMGM-branded game The Lion's Share, beating Christen Freeman's $210,000 mark from 2016.
The Lion's Share, introduced in September 2025, lets contestants risk winnings for larger payouts up to $500,000; the overall single-episode record remains Michael Stouber's $262,743 from 2019.
