‘Squid Game’ awaits $4.56 mn prize money

Mai Whelan, the victor of 'Squid Game: The Challenge,' has yet to receive her $4.56 million prize money. She expressed impatience, likening herself to Tom Cruise in Jerry McGuire. She splurged on a stylish ensemble for the Squid Game gala night. Whelan plans to use the prize money for a retirement home and to donate to causes supporting the underprivileged, wildlife, and climate change. There was a 10-month delay in the prize money payout. The 'Squid Game' saga saw controversy when contestants alleged physical harm during filming, but no lawsuit was filed.
