A Rochester woman managed a second-place finish on the popular TV game show "Jeopardy" on Tuesday while playing against one of the all-time Jeopardy greats.

Allie Lane, a technical editor from the Lilac City, ended with $18,600, bested only by Matt Amodio, who is No. 4 in all-time regular game (no tournament) winning with $475,600 in prize money.

Lane and Amodio both got the Final Jeopardy question correct on the answer: "A savage people called Zapoletes are contrasted with the inhabitants of the title place of this 16th-century work."

The answer? What is Utopia?

Lane had a moment when she was in the lead after getting the Final Jeopardy question, but Amodio also answered, "What is Utopia?" to reclaim the lead and continue on his epic winnings journey.

Lane was not immediately available for comment.

The show was hosted by guest host Joe Buck, a Fox Sports NFL announcer.
