Mattea Roach wins 13th Jeopardy! game

By Mark Hodgins

Mattea Roach is making Jeopardy! history. 

The 23-year-old Nova Scotian won game number 13 on Thursday night's episode – good for the eighth-longest streak in the game show's regular-season. 

The Final Jeopardy! clue last night was “the title character of this film has the same name as the Roman goddess of the dawn.”

Roach did not get the correct response which was “Sleeping Beauty”.

“Not a Disney princess fan,” joked host Ken Jennings.

“No,” Roach laughed in response. 

Despite the miss, Roach had too big a lead for her opponents to overcome, adding another $14,000 to her 13-day winnings of more than $286,000. 

She'll look for win 14 on Friday night's episode at 8:30 p.m.
