Amy Schneider on Her 'Jeopardy!' Winning Streak: "My Biggest Goal Was Just to Win 4 Games" | PEOPLE

Schneider, 42, is the most successful female contender in the show's history, becoming the first woman to surpass $1 million in earnings. She is also the first transgender contestant to compete on Jeopardy!'s Tournament of Champions. The Ohio native shares that it's been "really great" to represent the trans community in such a major way.

"I think a lot of the most meaningful, to me, have been actually from parents and grandparents of trans people, saying that it's made them feel better about the life that their loved ones are going to have," she says. "That makes me really happy."
