Jamie Ding Extends 'Jeopardy!' Win Streak to 20; Total Earnings Now Over $572,000 Jamie Ding, a former standout student from Grosse Pointe North High School in Michigan, extended his record-breaking streak on the long-running game show "Jeopardy!" to 20 consecutive victories on Thursday. The achievement places him tied for seventh in the show’s history for the most individual wins and sixth in total prize money earned. Ding’s latest win, which added $33,027 to his earnings, brings his cumulative total to $572,600 after 20 days of competition. The episode saw Ding secure another dominant performance, with second-place finisher Prithish David, a financial consultant from Washington, D.C., earning $6,500, and third-place finisher Alexandra Leith, an account manager from Dedham, Massachusetts, taking home $5,399. Ding’s upcoming appearance on Friday’s episode will mark his attempt to reach 21 consecutive wins, a milestone that would tie him with Cris Pannullo for sixth place in the all-time win rankings. The Jeopardy! Fan, an online database tracking the show’s statistics, currently lists Ding’s total earnings as the sixth-highest in history. Ding’s success on the show has drawn attention to his academic background. A 2009 graduate of Grosse Pointe North High School, he was recognized as an honor student, a National AP Scholar, and a top performer in the National Academic Quiz Tournaments’ high school championship. His former principal, Tim Bearden, who is now the superintendent of West Ottawa Public Schools, expressed pride in Ding’s accomplishments.#jamie_ding #jeopardy #grosse_pointe_north_high_school #cris_pannullo #the_jeopardy_fan
