Schneider passes $1M on Jeopardy

“Jeopardy!” champ Amy Schneider was robbed at gunpoint, then fell ill, but her week on TV is going a lot better, as viewers watched her reach another milestone in her blaze of game show glory.

The Oakland engineering manager won her 28th consecutive game Friday, pushing her earnings to above $1 million. By correctly answering the Final Jeopardy question, Schneider amassed $1,019,600, giving her the fourth-highest earnings total during the show’s regular-season play.

Schneider, 42, also is only four games away from tying James Holzhauer for third place for most consecutive games won.
