Answer: A Virginia Beach man who's made more than $78,000 during the past three nights of "Jeopardy!"

Question: Who is Francis Lansangan?

Lansangan, 35, is going mum on how much longer the streak will continue.

"I want to keep my family in suspense," he said Wednesday.

The only other person besides his wife who knows the outcome is his sister. Lansangan has shared it with her only because she let him in on the details when she was on the college tournament show in 1998.

He has been trying to get on the show since 2007.

How is he going to spend all that money?

His church, other local charities, and, "My wife and I want to adopt a baby."
