The Toronto tutor dominating “Jeopardy!” will vie for a 15th straight win on an episode airing tonight.
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 Friday’s game, Roach has the 10th highest winnings of anyone in the show’s regular-season history, with US$320,081.
Roach has answered 93 per cent of clues correctly through her 14 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.
