The champion of "Squid Game: The Challenge" is getting closer to receiving her $4.56 million prize, but, according to her contract, she's still in for a wait.. TMZ has reported that Mai Whelan, the show's winner, like all other contestants, agreed to a clause stating that the jackpot would be paid out 30 days after the finale aired...

The last episode was broadcasted on December 6, so Mai won't receive the millions until next year, precisely on Friday, January 5, 2024 as per the 30-day waiting period mentioned in the contract she signed..

Even without the funds yet, Mai, who fled Vietnam as a child during the communist regime, has indulged in luxury items like Jimmy Choo shoes and a Ralph Lauren dress..
