Warning: Spoilers ahead
Former North Side resident Seth Wilson is becoming a “Jeopardy” legend.
Wilson, 31, correctly answered the “Final Jeopardy” clue about Greek mythology to win $18,100 on Thursday’s episode. Wilson, who briefly lived in the Ravenswood neighborhood this year before moving from the city, has won $209,801 over nine episodes of the quiz show.
Wilson led going into the “Final Jeopardy” round. He and Maryland homeschool educator Anne Campbell got the clue about the mythological figure Daedalus right, but Campbell did not wager enough money to beat Wilson. Virginia digital consultant Damien Shirley got the “Final Jeopardy” clue wrong, and ended the episode with $1.
Wilson is a Ph.D. theater student at the University of Georgia and an alumnus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Vanderbilt University.
