Host Alex Trebek was wrong when he said Jass’ seventh victory had tied her for the most consecutive wins by a woman on the show.

It also turns out that Jass ranks in the top 10 of “Jeopardy!” champions who’ve won seven or more games, Trebek said on Wednesday. And the $147,570 the 42-year-old Adrian College associate professor of American history has won also puts her among the top 15 winners in the history of the games.
