Scott Riccardi, a Jersey native and Rutgers grad, just made local history with a 16-game winning streak on “Jeopardy!”—walking away with $455,000 and a spot among the show’s all-time greats. What’s he splurging on? A marimba, of all things! Riccardi credits his big bets and quick buzzer skills for his run, but says the real challenge was staying calm during those on-air interviews. He’s set to return for the Tournament of Champions, sticking to the same prep routine. Anyone else inspired to chase their own trivia dreams—or maybe just rethink what they’d buy with a game show windfall? #News #Jeopardy #NewJersey
