18-year-old Jeopardy! champion Delaney O’Dea has spoken out after her two games and one win. The champion took home a total of $21,600 between her two games.
O’Dea was one of the youngest contestants to ever compete on the game show during her October 15 episode. During that episode, she won $18,600. Then, when she finished in second place on October 16, she ended with $1,600. Second place goes home with $3,000 and that’s what she took home during her exit from the show.
