LOS ANGELES — “Jeopardy!” juggernaut Amy Schneider is at it again, this time taking home the grand prize at this year’s Tournament of Champions.
On Monday, the Oakland-based trivia master bested fellow contestants Sam Buttery and Andrew He to win the tournament’s $250,000 grand prize.
During the sixth game’s Final Jeopardy, Schneider bet $13,000 and submitted the correct response to come out on top with $28,600, beating He’s final total of $17,001.
In a statement to People magazine, Schneider said her win felt “amazing.”
“Earlier in the finals, I had this sudden moment of seeing myself and being like, ‘I’m on stage in the Tournament of Champions finals,’ and that was crazy. And I won! It’s a great feeling,” she said.
