That's a question Amy Schneider will likely not forget anytime soon. The 42-year-old engineering manager's 40-game winning streak, second only to Ken Jennings' 74-wins way back in 2004, came to a dramatic end after she couldn't correctly guess the game's "Final Jeopardy."

But don't feel too bad for her, she leaves "with $1,382,800, the fourth-highest regular season winnings ever behind Jennings ($2.5 million), James Holzhauer ($2.4 million in 32 games) and Matt Amodio ($1.5 million in 38 games)."
