The plans start at $77/month (with ads), but for an additional fee, you can upgrade to a bundle that removes commercials and throws in Disney+ and ESPN+ to the mix.

You get it all, plus tens of thousands of on-demand titles for the price of $109.99/month (saving you roughly $40/month from the package after it), so if the budget allows, it's worth trying the Ultimate plan yourself.

What is the largest amount won by a contestant?

The infamous record for highest winnings was (controversially) secured by contestant Michael Larson, who in 1984 won around $110,000 thanks to a bit of meta-gaming and memorizing the game board. But in 2024, in this very season, the record would be broken with sheer protagonist luck by contestant Dylan, a personal trainer.
