'Jeopardy!' fans freak out when champ reveals that she predicted her winning dollar amount
The most recent multi-win champion on Jeopardy! is Katie Sekelsky, a graphic designer from Kent, Ohio. And, when she secured her third victory in a row this week with a winning total of $19,201, maybe you wondered to yourself: who saw that coming?
Well as it turns out, she did.
After the episode aired Sekelsky tweeted out, “The night before my first Jeopardy taping, I was alone in the hotel, trying to calm down and "visualizing" a win. I sketched myself at a podium, with a winning-type dollar amount. And that winning-type dollar amount was $19,201. This is real.”

And just in case there are any skeptics out there, Sekelsky has insisted that the drawing did not influence her wagering in that moment, and that she did indeed send the drawing to multiple people before the taping, saying, “THERE ARE RECEIPTS.”
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 @lynnqyu and @AriannaHaut before taping. THERE ARE RECEIPTS.

Of course this premonition had fans on Twitter freaking out with comments like, “Well Katie that’s amazing! You are a visionary!.”
Wow!!! This is kind of spooky.....I wonder what else you can manifest? Wow!!!

Sadly, her potentially psychic powers apparently don’t apply to Pixar films. Because when the answer to the Final Jeopardy! clue on Wednesday was "Buzz Lightyear" and she wrote "Osmosis Jones" instead, the premonitions — and her winning streak — ended there.
