This is the moment a contestant won a record-breaking $10,000,000 as part of MrBeast's BeastGames.
Famous YouTuber, MrBeast - real name is Jimmy Donaldson - is renowned for giving out life-changing sums of money and luxurious prizes to his 362 million subscribers and even strangers who participate in his popular 'Beast Games'.
The games stage elaborate challenges and tasks for participants who are in with a shot at bagging some top prizes, though his latest show, inspired by the Netflix series, Squid Game, has been critizied by some as 'sadistic'.
Nevertheless, his game show, which premiered on Amazon Prime in December, saw a staggering 1,000 contestants compete gruelling physical and mental challenges to be in with a chance of bagging the top prize fund, $10,000,000 - the biggest cash prize in reality TV.

Now, the games came to an end with one lucky participant taking home the ginormous pot.
Jeffrey Randall Allen, identified as player 831 in the game, fought off tough competition from fellow player, Twana Barnett, to win the money.
The finale invited the last standing six players which was then whittled down to Jeffrey and Twana.
The round saw Jeffery blindfolded and tasked with guessing which out of 10 briefcases had the $10 million cheque inside that had been concealed by Twana.

Incredibly, he chose the correct case in the first round and celebrated his victory by sliding down a mountain of cash and greeting his wife and son.
The win comes as Jeffery had previously revealed on the show that his son, Lucas, suffers from a rare brain disease called Creatine Transporter Deficiency.
He indicated he wanted to use the prize money to finding a cure.

When he was crowned the winner, Jeffery remarked to his wife: "Can you believe that? $10 million," to which she said in tears: "You're gonna find Lucas a cure."
Twana was also given $100,000 as a runner-up and Mr Beast said he'd handed out $20 million to 85 players while each contestant took home $2,000.
Another lucky player also won a $1.8 million private island.

But the show wasn't without controversy as it staged several brutal challenges, during which Mr Beast attempted to coax players out of the game for an immediate cash prize, while contestants had to knock their fellow players out or sacrifice themselves along the way.
Critics said the show was 'dystopian' for some of its challenges, though it became Amazon Prime Video's most watched series ever with more than 50 million viewers in a month.
Fans also say they have been gripped throughout the series, as one said on Instagram: "Ngl I was way more into this series than I thought I was gonna be."
"Best finale in history," another viewer said, with dozens of others calling for a second series.

"This is my favorite game show I've ever watched," a woman wrote. "Had me bawling multiple times throughout."
The 26-year-old boasts the most subscribers of any YouTube channel and stands as the third-most-followed content creator on TikTok.
Mr Beast said he was 'sure' a second season of the show could happen.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, the YouTuber has a whopping net worth of approximately $1 billion,
