How many people won the HQ $20,000 trivia game during Justin Timberlake’s Super Bowl halftime performance? We got the answer right here.

During the Super Bowl halftime show, which featured performer Justin Timberlake, everyone’s favorite trivia app, HQ, held a round of the game with a whopping $20,000 prize.

It was the biggest prize HQ had ever offered, and when the game started more than 1.9 million were playing. That figure eclipses their previous record, just a month ago HQ was trying to break a million active players during their game and they nearly hit two million.

But with more players in the game, more winners could be splitting the pot. So with 1.9 million people enduring Scott Rogowsky’s awful jokes and puns, how many people won and split the pot?

168 people won the $20,000 pot, each walking away with $119.05.

Rogowsky also trolled the Prince hologram controversy by introducing a hologram of Prince… Charles.
