The Toronto tutor dominating “Jeopardy!” secured her 15th straight win Monday.
Mattea Roach, who grew up in Halifax, has the eighth-longest streak in “Jeopardy!” history.
To move up the list, the 23-year-old will need 19 wins to tie with David Madden and Jason Zuffranieri.
As of Monday’s game, Roach has the 10th highest winnings of anyone in the show’s regular-season history, with US$352,781.
Roach has answered 93 per cent of clues correctly through her 15 games so far.
Her streak – the longest held by a Canadian contestant – has earned her a spot in the show’s Tournament of Champions, which is set to air in the fall.
