Greenbelter Heads Into Third Night on Jeopardy

The winnings are piling up for Greenbelter Jessamine Price, two-time Jeopardy champion and winner of $19,202 and counting.

Price will defend her title once more on Monday night as she face two new game show challengers.

Two things that have helped her gain the edge in Jeopardy include , according to Price.

Price told Patch on Monday that during the game she has no idea how her scores compare with the other contestants — at least not until they go into Final Jeopardy. It's not that she can't look, but she concentrates so much on the questions and the buzzer that she doesn't notice.

"I was totally focused on the questions," Price said.

It all came down to the last mintues for Price on both Thursday and Friday nights, as it was in Final Jeopardy that she moved ahead of the other contestants.

Though the shows were taped in advance, Price is keeping her cards close about the outcome. She hasn't even told her parents, Price said.

So Greenbelters and fans who want to see how she fares, will have to tune in Monday at 7:30 p.m. on WJLA ABC Channel 7.
