Nova Scotia native Mattea Roach continued her “Jeopardy!” winning streak Monday, earning her 10th straight victory on the popular game show.

The 23-year-old from Halifax gained another $16,799 during the episode, bringing her total earnings to US$227,601. Despite incorrectly answering the final Jeopardy clue, Roach clinched the win after beating fellow Canadian contestant, Caitlin Hayes, a musician and educator from Vancouver.

Roach will work to defend her title again on Tuesday night’s episode. According to “Jeopardy!”‘s daily box scores, Roach has answered clues correctly 93 per cent of the time in all 10 games, with 265 correct responses and 19 incorrect ones.
