Nova Scotia’s Mattea Roach earns another $30,000 in 6th Jeopardy! win
last week, she said she applied for the show online during the pandemic, because she was “bored” and wanted to give it a go.
“Like, the worst thing that happens is I don’t hear back, and the best thing that happens is maybe I got on the show, so there’s literally no downside to taking the test. Then I got the best possible outcome,” she said.That best possible outcome — so far — is the ability to pay off her student loans and a chance to appear in a future Tournament of Champions game.
Roach will be back on Wednesday’s episode to defend her title of returning champion. She is set to compete against California bookseller Rachel Skytt and Chicago-based airline planning analyst Adam Wallick.
