Jamie Ding, a New Jersey resident working for the state housing department, earned his 13th consecutive win on Jeopardy! on March 31, extending one of the show’s strongest current streaks.

Ding delivered another decisive performance, finishing with $45,560 in Tuesday’s game after entering Final Jeopardy with a commanding lead of $29,400. His opponents, Seth Politano of Los Angeles and Kimberly Ayers of San Marcos, California, trailed significantly heading into the final round.

All three contestants correctly answered the Final Jeopardy clue, identifying North Carolina as the state tied to a 1928 anniversary event attended by Amelia Earhart. Ding wagered $16,160, pushing his cumulative winnings to $360,000 over 13 games.

The latest victory moved Ding into a tie for 14th place on the show’s all-time consecutive wins list and up to 15th on the regular-season earnings leaderboard, according to fan tracking data. He has already secured a spot in the upcoming Tournament of Champions.

Originally from the Detroit area, Ding graduated from Princeton University and has gained attention for his consistent performance and strategic gameplay. Earlier in his run, he set a record Coryat score of $42,400, surpassing a mark previously held by longtime host Ken Jennings.

As his streak continues, Ding is emerging as one of the show’s top modern-era contestants, though he remains well behind Jennings’ record of 74 consecutive wins.
