TORONTO — Canadian “Jeopardy!” champion Mattea Roach won her 13th game last night, making her the contestant with the eighth-longest streak in the TV quiz show’s history.
The 23-year-old law school tutor lives in Toronto but is originally from Halifax.
She needs just one more win to tie with Matt Jackson at number 7 on the list.
Roach has so far won $286,081 on the show.
She has also qualified for the Tournament of Champions, where she’ll face some of the show’s most successful players, including 40-game winner Amy Schneider.
“Jeopardy!” host Ken Jennings says Roach and Schneider are among four champs with a double-digit win streak this season.
