Nova Scotia’s Mattea Roach won her 11th consecutive match on ‘Jeopardy!’ Tuesday night, bringing her total winnings to $244,882.

The 23-year-old earned another $17,281 on the latest episode.

During Tuesday’s episode, Roach faced off against Tina DiSciullo-Acker, a manager of development events from Philadelphia, and Josh Sen, a student from New Jersey.

According to the Jeopardy! daily box scoreRoach attempted to buzz in 40 times and was successful 24 times, for a success rate of 60 per cent.

All around, Roach has answered clues correctly 93 per cent of the time in her last 11 games, with 288 correct responses and 21 incorrect.

Roach is a tutor who currently lives in Toronto, but she is originally from Halifax.

She first applied to be on the long-running game show in 2020. This January, she was invited to Los Angeles to tape an episode.

Last week, Roach clinched a spot in the Tournament of Champions after winning her fifth game. In an interview with CTV Atlantic, she said she plans to study subject areas she wants to improve on ahead of the tournament.

“US Civil War history is something I really don’t know anything about,” said Roach in an interview last week. “I’ll probably also watch the games back of the other competitors I think, to get a feel for how are these people going to play and how might I need to respond.”

You can tune in to watch Roach compete in her 12th game Wednesday night.
