It really was final Jeopardy!
A Winnipegger lost her bid Monday for a three-peat on the popular game show.
Emma Hill Kepron, the associate dean of the University of Winnipeg library, lost a tightly fought game when she failed to answer the Final Jeopardy question on Monday’s show.

Emma Hill Kepron, the associate dean of the University of Winnipeg library, lost a tightly fought game when she failed to answer the Final Jeopardy question on Monday’s show.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t make it a bigger run,” she said on Monday just after her final show was broadcast. It was taped in February.
“I hope nobody is too disappointed. It took me awhile to get over it, but all three were great games. And I’ll always have two games.”
The final question was: what two state capitals are linked by Interstate 25, with Denver in between. The answer was Cheyenne and Santa Fe which the game’s winner successfully answered.
“I was able to get half of it (Cheyenne),” Hill Kepron said. Host Ken Jennings noted she had started to write Salt Lake City.
But Hill Kepron didn’t leave the show empty-handed: her total winnings, including the US$2,000 awarded to a second place finisher, was US$28,000.
“I don’t have it yet,” she said. “They said I would be getting a cheque around May.”
She said she will use it to landscape her backyard.
