Wheel of Fortune has more single game winners that earn more than the Jeopardy list of 50.000 plus winners and the minimum for Wheel of Fortune is the same as the third place for Jeopardy. Only someone like Ken Jennings with multiple wins does better on Jeopardy. Since Wheel of Fortune pays out more money it would seem that on average you would do better on Wheel of Fortune. Many Jeopardy contestants leave with the second and third place prizes and still have to pay for all there costs to be on the program beginning with the audition including transportation and lodging if they were required.

Do you make more money on jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune?
Jeopardy was on first (1964), with Wheel of Fortune beginning its appearances in 1975. But the current syndicated run of Jeopardy began a year after Wheel of Fortune had moved to syndication (Wheel on September 19, 1983 and Jeopardy on September 10,1984). Wheel of Fortune has both more shows and more seasons in either daytime or syndicated formats.Jeopardy first aired on March 30 1964 until it was cancelled on January 3 1975. The weekly syndicated show ran from September 1974 until September 1975 and was brought back as a daily show in Oct 1978 till Mar 1979. The daytime Wheel of Fortune began almost 10 years after Jeopardy on January 6 1975 and continued until June 30 1989 with over 3000 episodes. The current nighttime Jeopardy syndicated show started in 1984, a year after Wheel of Fortune. However, Jeopardy has had more episodes during their syndicated show than the number of episodes of the Wheel of Fortune syndicated nighttime show, which began on 19 September 1983.

If you go by total time, Wheel of Fortune has been on for more TV seasons for both the new syndicated show and the older Daytime shows. So you can see it depends on how you want to decide what to count.
