“Jeopardy!” contestant Mattea Roach has made the history books!
The 23-year-old won her 14th consecutive game on Friday, making her eighth on the all-time consecutive games list and tenth on the all-time highest non-tournament cash winnings list. With her latest win, she brought in another 34,000 and boosted her total earnings to 320,081.
“This has been such a crazy season of streaks and I was fully thinking Amy [Schneider] might still be here,” Roach said. “If it’s not Amy, there’s going to be some other super-champion that’s just going to knock me out Game One.
