Perhaps it\u0027s fitting that it all came down to a loonie for Jeopardy! sensation and Canadian superstar Mattea Roach.

One dollar. Not counting the Canada-U.S. currency exchange rate, that was the difference between moving on and going home on Friday night. Ultimately, the 23-year-old Toronto tutor was short by a buck in her quest to make it 24 wins on the popular game show.

Roach, who is originally from Nova Scotia, was in the lead with $19,200 heading into Final Jeopardy! and wagered $3,601. She didn’t respond correctly. Challenger Danielle Maurer, a digital marketing manager from Peachtree Corners, Ga., took $11,400 into the round and wagered $4,200. Her answer was correct and on Monday she’ll be the new defending champ.

The Final Jeopardy! category was “USA” and the clue read: “These mayors gave their names to a facility built on the site of an old racetrack owned by Coca-Cola magnate Asa Candler.” The correct response: Who are William Hartsfield and Maynard Jackson? “It feels still like a dream,” Roach said in a news release. “I really came down here hoping to maybe win one game and so I still can’t believe it. You know, it’s strange, obviously I didn’t come through in the last one, but I still feel so happy and so lucky to have had this experience.”Article content
