Jeopardy! Contestant Jamie Ding Wins 20th Game in a Row Jamie Ding, a resident of Lawrenceville, New Jersey, has extended his streak of consecutive "Jeopardy!" victories to 20 games, tying him for seventh place in the show’s history for the most consecutive wins. The milestone was achieved during an episode that premiered on April 9, 2026, marking another triumph in his ongoing dominance on the quiz show. Ding’s performance in the episode earned him $33,027, bringing his total winnings to $572,600 and placing him sixth on the regular-season money list. The episode featured Ding competing against two other contestants: Alexandra Leith, a national account manager from Dedham, Massachusetts, and Prithish David, a financial advisory consultant based in Washington, D.C. Leith and David finished with scores of $6,000 and $6,600, respectively, while Ding secured the top spot. His victory further solidified his position as one of the show’s most consistent performers. In the episode’s final round, known as "Final Jeopardy," the clue presented was: "In 1759 he purchased Ferney, the French home where he lived for 2 decades, largely because of the proximity to the Swiss border." Ding risked only $827 but correctly identified the answer as "Who is Voltaire?" This response demonstrated his deep knowledge of history and his ability to handle high-pressure moments. Ding’s streak of 20 consecutive wins places him in a historic category. According to the "Jeopardy!" leaderboard for most consecutive games won, he is currently tied with Julia Collins, who achieved 20 wins in 2014. The top spot remains held by Ken Jennings, who won 74 games in 2004, followed by Amy Schneider (40 games in 2022) and Matt Amodio (38 games in 2021).#jamie_ding #lawrenceville_new_jersey #alexandra_leith #dedham_massachusetts #prithish_david
