This is great news for the iconic Jeopardy! contestant considering she shared some bad news with her 58K+ followers on Twitter recently. Schneider, an Oakland resident, tweeted that she was robbed at gunpoint over the New Year’s weekend in her hometown.
“Hi all! So first off: I’m fine. But I got robbed yesterday, lost my ID, credit cards and phone. I then couldn’t really sleep last night, and have been dragging myself around all day trying to replace everything,” the Oakland resident said in her post.
