A Shaw’s supermarket employee from Warren will be competing on “Jeopardy!” Friday.

According to the Portland Press Herald, 50-year-old Nanci Skinner has been trying out for “Jeopardy!” since the 1980s. After taking the qualifying test multiple times, she will finally be on the hit show.

Skinner works at a Shaw’s in Rockland as a shipping receiver.

She’s not the only Mainer to be featured on the show this year. Jaime Logan from Augusta won in May and Susan McMillan from Portland won in March.
