Laura Faddah sets new record on Jeopardy with seventh consecutive win

Laura Faddah has made history on "Jeopardy!" by winning her seventh consecutive game on December 27, 2024. She is the first contestant to achieve this feat while earning less than $100,000 in total winnings. Faddah surpassed the previous record held by Tim Aten, who won seven games in 2016 with a total of $107,499. In her latest game, Faddah secured a lead of $10,000, making her victory clear before Final Jeopardy. Despite her record, some fans noted that other players have earned more in single games than Faddah's total. Faddah will return to the show in March 2025, while the next season begins on December 30, 2024.
