Hannah Wilson is a data scientist from Chicago, Illinois.
Jeopardy! Run[]
She made her debut on May 3, 2023, and defeated 3-day champion Kevin Belle in a near-runaway victory. She followed that up with seven extremely impressive performances, riding an eight-game winning streak that earned her $229,801. She is the third-highest-earning female contestant in regular play, and also has the third-highest regular play winnings for a female contestant and the fifth-highest female earnings overall.
Her run was cut short by Ben Chan, who had just returned from taking a month off from taping due to COVID-19 and dominated the entire game for his fourth of nine straight runaway victories. Hannah is the fourth seed for the 2024 Tournament of Champions, just behind Ben.
