Toronto tutor Mattea Roach scores win No. 20 on Jeopardy!

by


Make it 20 wins on Jeopardy! for Toronto tutor Mattea Roach.

The 23-year-old, originally from Nova Scotia, recorded win No. 20 on Monday night while increasing her total winnings to a spectacular (US)$476,985.

With the win, Roach moves into a tie with supply-chain professional Julia Collins for the fifth-longest winning streak in Jeopardy! history.

Giving Roach a decent run for her money through the early rounds of the night were church organist Becky Benninghoff, from Woodbridge, Va., and Adam Ilgin, a ferryboat deckhand from Lewes, Del. However, those contestants did not correctly guess the clue in the Final Jeopardy! round while Roach did to finish the night with $16,801 in earnings.

This is Roach’s fifth week on the popular game show.

She has already earned a spot in the show’s Tournament of Champions, which will air in the fall.
