Julia Collins from north suburban Kenilworth climbed into an elite rank of winners with Tuesday’s game, which marked her 12th consecutive win on the long-running quiz show.
The 31-year-old supply chain professional became the third person in history to win a dozen games back-to-back. Only David Madden (19 wins) and Ken Jennings (74 wins) have emerged victorious in more games than she has.
"When Alex [Trebek] announced that I was in third place for most wins, it reminded me that my streak was pretty unusual,” Collins said in an emailed statement. “It’s exciting to set a ‘Jeopardy!’ record of any kind.”
Julia will face off against two new challengers Wednesday with the hopes of continuing her streak and adding to her $245,610 in total winnings.
