Good news for Canadian champ Mattea Roach. She was able to win her 5th game on Jeopardy! and clinched a spot on the show’s upcoming Tournament of Champions. She made $12,600 for a 5-day total of $117, 200. She posted on Twitter just before last night’s show.

Roach lives in Toronto, but hails from Halifax, with most of her family in Nova Scotia cheering her on, since her appearance last Tuesday, with much support from the community. She was even able to pay off her student loan with her first win.

And just like that – poof! Student loans: paid off. Congratulations, Mattea! #OverheardOnSet pic.twitter.com/LGTzayLfmK

Mattea’s father said her biggest fans might be her grandparents Rolly and Patsy MacKinnon, who watch Jeopardy! religiously, long before Mattea even came on the show. Good luck to her for continued success. Here she gets a pointer from Ken Jennings as host, who should be there permanently.
