Lilly Chin, an M.I.T. senior from DeKalb County, is set to appear on "Jeopardy!"

An MIT senior from Decatur is soon to be featured on “Jeopardy!”

Lilly Chin’s episode airs Monday night on NBC at 7:30 p.m.

Chin isn’t the first local to appear on “America’s Favorite Quiz Show.”

But she has work to do to catch up to the last notable run by a Georgian.

Last year, University of Georgia PhD candidate Seth Wilson won 12 games in a row, a historic winning streak that was among the show's longest.
