“#’Jeopardy!’ Contestant Shocks Fans By Predicting Her Winning Dollar Amount<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Guessing a correct answer to a question on Jeopardy!<\/em> is one thing, but accurately predicting your winning total? That must take some kind of magic power. Yet, that is precisely what contestant Katie Sekelsky did when she secured her third win in a row this week.<\/p>\n

Sekelsky, a graphic designer from Kent, Ohio, won the Tuesday, June 15 episode with a winning total of $19,201, a number she had prophesied just days earlier. \u201cThe night before my first @Jeopardy taping, I was alone in the hotel, trying to calm down and \u201cvisualizing\u201d a win,\u201d she tweeted on Wednesday. \u201cI sketched myself at a podium, with a winning-type dollar amount. And that winning-type dollar amount was $19,201. This is real.\u201d<\/p>\n

For any potential doubters, Sekelsky attached a photo of the sketch and confirmed that she had sent the drawing to several people before taping the episode in question. \u201cTHERE ARE RECEIPTS,\u201d she stated emphatically. She also explained that the drawing didn\u2019t influence her wagering on the show and that she was just betting what she needed to to win.<\/p>\n

\n

This was not on my mind at all while wagering. I was just betting what I needed to in case Erin bet everything and got it right. And the drawing was sent to @muffymarracco<\/a> @lynnqyu<\/a> and @AriannaHaut<\/a> before taping. THERE ARE RECEIPTS.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell Katie that\u2019s amazing! You are a visionary!\u201d wrote one fan on Twitter in response to Sekelsky\u2019s impressive feat. Many other viewers also took to social media<\/a> to share their reaction, with one person asking if she, \u201cCan see the future?\u201d<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Sekelsky\u2019s run came to an end on Wednesday\u2019s show as her psychic powers didn\u2019t extend to the Disney-Pixar universe. \u201cWhat is Osmosis Jones?\u201d she wrote in response to the Final Jeopardy! clue that required the answer \u201cBuzz Lightyear.\u201d However, the Ohio native took the loss in good spirits, announcing on Twitter that she is considering watching and live-tweeting the Farrelly brothers action-comedy.<\/p>\n

\n

Never seen Osmosis Jones. Thinking about watching and live tweeting it.<\/p>\n
