CP24 – Mattea Roach always knew her record-breaking reign at the “Jeopardy” podium would come to an end.
The all-time Canadian champion said her success on the show was as much about luck as it was trivia prowess.
“I just kind of felt like, why would I possibly be upset about this?” she said in a phone interview before the episode that ended her run aired on Friday. “Obviously I would have preferred to have won. But I was always going to lose eventually, and most people lose their first game. I’m lucky I got to win 23.”
