Roach did, however, get the Final Jeopardy! question wrong, but it wasn’t enough to offset her substantial lead going into the final round.

Roach graduated from Sacred Heart School in Halifax in 2015, and her family still lives in Halifax and Cape Breton. She now works as a tutor in Toronto.

She has previously said she would use her winnings to pay off her student debt.
