Another day, another dominant win on “Jeopardy!” for Michigan native Jamie Ding.<\/p>\n\n

On Tuesday’s episode, Ding won his 18th straight game, pushing his prize winnings past $500,000.<\/p>\n

How much has he won?<\/h2>\n

Ding won $36,360 on Tuesday’s show, giving him an 18-day total of $530,372. He ranks 10th in total “Jeopardy!” victories and eighth in total prize winnings, according to online database The Jeopardy! Fan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He finished well ahead of runner-up Kevin Iannone, a trivia host from Flagstaff, Arizona, who ended Tuesday’s show with no money after wagering all his earnings in the Final Jeopardy! round and answering incorrectly. The third contestant, Divya Srijay, a student originally from Spartanburg, South Carolina, ended up with a negative score and thus was not allowed to participate in Final Jeopardy!<\/p>\n

Ding was the lone contestant with the correct response to Tuesday’s Final Jeopardy! clue, which tested the competitors’ knowledge about the 1940 assassination of Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky.<\/p>\n\n

What’s next?<\/h2>\n

Ding will go for win No. 19 on Wednesday’s episode. In Detroit, “Jeopardy!” airs on WDIV-TV (Channel 4) at 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n\n

Another victory would move Ding into a three-way tie for eighth most in “Jeopardy!” history.<\/p>\n

Current host Ken Jennings holds the record for most “Jeopardy!” victories all-time, with 74 straight in 2004. He’s also the show’s top prize winner with more than $2.5 million from his reign as champ.<\/p>\n\n

Who is Jamie Ding?<\/h2>\n

Ding is a 2009 graduate<\/a>\u00a0of Grosse Pointe North High School. There, he was an honor student, a National AP Scholar and placed highly in the National Academic Quiz Tournaments’ high school championship, according to the Grosse Pointe News.<\/p>\n

His father is Yuchuan Ding, a professor of neurosurgery at Wayne State University.<\/p>\n

Now a bureaucrat and law student, Jamie Ding currently resides in Lawrenceville, New Jersey.<\/p>\n
