Medford native Laurie MacDougall has won for three straight nights on the popular game show Jeopardy!.

Thursday’s win was a come-from-behind victory. MacDougall fought her way back to within $300 of the first place contestant before a big wager in “Final Jeopardy!” that paid off.

The cancer data specialist racked up $26,700 in prize money on her first night, $25,000 on her second night, and $26,300 on Thursday evening, bringing her three day total to $78,000.

MacDougall was back on the show again on Friday, but her Jeopardy! run ended with a loss.

Jeopardy airs at 7:30 PM on weekdays on CBS. The show is filmed at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California. MacDougall’s shows were filmed before Easter.

    Laurie worked with me when she was a teenager. A finer person there ever was.
    Congratulations Laurie. Best of luck tonight.

    She sounds like Laura Ashby, a previous contestant with that “upspeak.”
