Posted: Apr 27, 2022 10:32 AM ET | Last Updated: 35 minutes agoCanada's Mattea Roach extended her winning streak onRoach, a tutor who lives in Toronto, has now won a total of $396,182 US.
She got the first question of the game, ran the table on a botany-related set of questions and bet big on a Daily Double in the second round that netted her $8,000. But she did miss a question — as did her opponents Ben Hsia of Fremont, Calif., and Christina Clark of De Pere, Wis. — about Canadian musician Neil Young.
While Roach led for most of the game, she ended up winning by just $1 after her nearest competitor went into Final Jeopardy with exactly half of her total. Both got the final question right. At the start of the episode, host Ken Jennings noted the iconic game show had only seen seven winning streaks of 16 games prior to Roach's ongoing run.
