Halifax's Jeopardy! champion has kept her streak alive on the popular game show. 

Mattea Roach pulling off win number 12 on Wednesday night's episode. 

This puts her tied for Number 9 on the list of regular-season winning streaks with Austin Rogers and Seth Wilson, who were on the show in 2017 and 2016 respectively.

Jeopardy! champion-turned-host Ken Jennings, who won 74 games in 2004, tops the list, while Amy Schneider ranks second after a 40-game streak earlier this year.

By the time last night's episode reached Final Jeopardy!, both of Roach's competitors has scores below $0, leaving her the only one able to play that stage of the game.

Jennings, who is hosting the show this week, gave this clue: “This website launched in 2015 with three offerings, from James Patterson, Dustin Hoffman and Serena williams”.

Roach correctly responded, “Masterclass”. 

The Nova Scotia native added $26,400 to her winnings, for a 12-day total of $271,282.

She'll be back in action on Thursday night at 8:30 p.m.
