(Photo courtesy Jeopardy) Amy Schneider ended her winning streak on Jeopardy at 40 games. She ends her run with the second longest winning streak in Jeopardy history and the longest winning streak for a woman.
She’s the only woman to have won more than $1 million during regular season play. And she’s the only trans person to ever qualify for Tournament of Champions play.
On Twitter, where Schneider’s handle is @Jeopardamy, she has picked up more than 100,000 followers. And in her 41-day run on the show, she earned $1,382,800 including $2,000 for her final appearance where she came in second.
For the previous week, Schneider blew away the competition with leads of more than $30,000. On her final day, she only had a $10,000 lead over Rhone Talsma.
