(CNN) The woman who finally dethroned "Jeopardy!" champion James Holzhauer after his 32-game winning streak has been studying the show for years. Emma Boettcher, a 27-year-old user experience librarian in Chicago, Illinois, auditioned to appear on the game show four times, beginning in her senior year of high school, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. "As far as preparation, I looked up some tutorials online about how to wager, especially for Final Jeopardy," Boettcher told the newspaper. Boettcher won $46,801 on Monday's episode and, in the process, brought an end to Holzhauer's attempt to break the all-time "Jeopardy!"
