It seems Mattea Roach is the next Hall of Famer to grace the “Jeopardy!” stage.

The tutor from Toronto, Canada, has earned $320,081 dollars from her 14-day win streak and is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

The 23-year-old trivia whiz has secured the eighth spot in the Hall of Fame consecutive wins list and has scored tenth on the all-time highest regular gameplay win.

Back in January, contestant Amy Schneider made history when she scored second on the all-time consecutive wins list. However, her 40-game win streak was nowhere near close enough to match host Ken Jennings and his all-time record of 74-games, set back in 2004.

“This has been such a crazy season of streaks, and I was fully thinking Amy [Schneider] might still be here,” Mattea said in a statement. “If it’s not Amy, there’s going to be some other super champion that’s just going to knock me out Game 1. I guess what I didn’t realize is maybe I could become the super champion I wanted to see in the world.”

Fans can tune into “Jeopardy!” on April 25 to see if she can scoop up yet another win. Currently, she is just five games shy of beating the 19-game win streak that David Madden set in 2005 and Jason Zuffranieri set in 2019.

In the meantime, fans are having a blast following her on Twitter!

Just like her predecessor, Amy Schneider, Mattea has also been chronicling her long win streak on Twitter. On Wednesday, she talked about what it was like to face the Final Jeopardy! round solo when both her competitors finished Double Jeopardy! with negative amounts of money.

She referred to it as a "unique experience" on Twitter, writing, "Single-player FJ was cool in that it’s a unique experience (in Ken’s 75 games of his original run, he never experienced single-player FJ!) but I would have much preferred having my opponents on stage with me - one is the loneliest number!"

She also had a hilarious response to an article that discussed one mom's reaction when she discovered that Mattea was Canadian.

She tweeted, "Apologies to all Canadian 20-somethings that this has happened to... if it makes you feel any better, my anecdote on the show [tonight] is about crashing my mom's car in a parking lot, so I'm also perfectly capable of disappointing my parents!"
