Best Answer

Jeopardy! does not cover contestants' expenses. All contestants have to pay their own way to Los Angeles, which includes lodging and meals. Everyone on the show wins some money, though. Third place gets $1000, second place gets $2000 and the winner keeps what he makes.

Does Jeopardy pay contestant air flights?

No Contestants must pay there own way to the auditions and to be a contestant on the show and are not paid any expenses for lodging or travel. They may pay for a returning champion who had won enough games that the taping session ended like Ken Jennings did when he won 74 games or any of the tournaments where a player has to return.
