“Jeopardy!” contestant Cindy Stowell, who died last week of cancer, turned in a winning performance on Tuesday’s show.

In the episode, which was pre-taped, she finished with $22,801 in prize winnings, good enough to unseat seven-time champion Tim Aten and return in the next episode.

Stowell, a science content developer from Austin, Texas, was in third place after the first round but made a run in the second to enter Final Jeopardy in first place, with $12,200. She was the only contestant to correctly identify the second-largest city in Cuba as “Santiago,” and wagered $10,601 to bolster her earnings.

The 41-year-old filmed the game show back in August while battling stage 4 colon cancer and knowing that she had about six months to live. Her family said last week that she competed with the goal of donating her winnings to cancer-research organizations.

Host Alex Trebek did not address her death in the episode, which marked the the first posthumous appearance by a contestant on the series. In a statement released to The Post last week, he said in part that “Competing on ‘Jeopardy!’ was a lifelong dream for Cindy, and we’re glad she was able to do so.”

Only Trebek and a small group of staffers — and none of her opponents — knew that Stowell was sick at the time.

She died Dec. 5.
