Mattea Roach is kind of smart
That Mattea Roach is kind of smart. The 23-year-old Halifax native has the eighth-longest streak in “Jeopardy!” history. Monday she secured her 15th straight win. In doing so, Mattea achieved the 10th highest winnings of anyone in the show’s regular-season history, a tidy US$352,781. She has answered 93 percent 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. Mattea Roach now works in Toronto as a tutor.
