Emily Croke rode uncanny coincidence to victory on “Jeopardy!” this week. (Watch the video below.)
A clue in the final round on Monday included a woman who is her great-great-great aunt, whom she is named after. Croke’s ancestry helped her become the only contestant to answer correctly.
She was protecting a large lead and wound up with a winning total of $13,201.
“Just her luck!” the game show wrote in its Instagram clip of the moment.
The Final Jeopardy! clue in the category “Collections” read: “In 1896 the Vassar-educated wife of this man wrote, ‘Thousands of dollars may be paid for a copy of Shakespeare.’”
