The 23-year-old Nova Scotia native, who is now a tutor in Toronto, won $28,001 U.S. on Friday night on the game show, running her total to $210,802.

Roach’s latest win came when she successfully answered the “Final Jeopardy” category of “Academy Award Winners,” putting down $6,201.

The answer was:  “In 2019 he won his first competitive Oscar, 36 years after a Student Academy Award for a film about a Brooklyn barbershop.”

Roach wrote down: “Who is Spike Lee?”

Roach has already booked a spot in the Tournament of Champions which features the show’s top contestants.

She graduated from the University of Toronto in 2020.

Roach had told The Evan Solomon Show podcast she didn’t even expect to win a single game, let alone go on this streak. She’s going for #10.
