Tupelo’s own Andrew Hayes continues to shine on the Jeopardy! stage, racking up his third consecutive victory on Friday’s episode.

With a total of $72,202 in winnings, the former University of Mississippi student has solidified his status as a strong contender on the iconic quiz show.

Hayes, who is currently a law student in Cambridge, Massachusetts, will return to defend his title once again today — Monday, April 14 — in what promises to be another exciting matchup.

The streak began with an impressive debut on Wednesday, followed by a thrilling one-dollar victory on Thursday’s episode that saw him come from behind in Final Jeopardy. Friday’s win further cemented his momentum as he eyes a possible fourth victory.

Mississippi fans will be watching closely as Hayes continues to represent the Magnolia State on the classic TV gameshow.
