Jeopardy! champ Amy Schneider says travel and a new home are among her top plans for the $1,382,800 in money she won on the show.
Schneider, a 42-year-old software engineer, amassed the fortune over a 40-game winning streak that concluded January 26.
The Oakland, California native told the New York Post on Thursday that travelling is definitely a part of her plan in her near future with her partner, Genevieve Davis.
Schneider, who is a trans woman, said she and Davis are also earmarking her winnings ‘for a potential down payment on a house’ and ‘doing some fun shopping in the meantime.’
Schneider says she had some people express interest in her appearing on a different trivia show, but she confirmed she had already done the best one.
‘There is this, like, part of me that’s like, “Ah, it won’t be as good,”‘ she said.
Schneider is slated to appear on the show’s Tournament of Champions.
