BELGRADE, Mont. — A local woman in Belgrade got the opportunity of a lifetime to compete on Jeopardy!
WATCH STORY HERE:
Lisa Verwys, 41, got a no-caller-ID phone call from Sony Pictures saying that she was selected to be on an episode.
“I think my stomach just jumped into my throat; I was very excited,” said Verwys.
She has been living in the Belgrade community for the past 17 years and expressed gratitude for representing the city on a national stage.
“I live squarely in Belgrade, I work in Belgrade, and I love it here.”
THE EPISODE AIRS ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13TH, AND IF YOU MISS IT LIVE, IT WILL STREAM ON PEACOCK AND HULU FOR APPROXIMATELY A WEEK.
Verwys is following in the footsteps of fellow Montanan, Erica Doornek, who proudly represented Glasgow, Mont., a place she calls "the middle of nowhere," on Jeopardy!
Doornek was a four-day Jeopardy! champion who won a total of $72,401 during her run earlier this month.
