The night before recent Jeopardy! winner Katie Sekelsky's first game, she was doodling to calm her anxiety.
"I was alone in the hotel, trying to calm down and 'visualizing' a win," she later tweeted. "I sketched myself at a podium, with a winning-type dollar amount. And that winning-type dollar amount was $19,201."
And then, on the June 15 "Final Jeopardy!" she won…. $19,201.
"If in first, I was always going to bet to cover an all-in bet by second place," she tweeted. "Second place had $9600, so I bet what I had to. Wouldn't have prioritized a viral tweet over a logical wager. I spent FAR too many hours studying wager theory to do that."
