The odds of it not happening are way too great with only 30 questions and 30 times that many shows already aired. What would it matter even if they did choose it first the contestant can wager up to $1000 even if they have not earned money or if they are already in the negative.

Therefore, there are 30 clues, each of which must be responded to in the form of a question.
Can a daily double follow a question that nobody answered on jeopardy?
When you uncover the Jeopardy spot in a category instead of a question or clue it says Daily double and you can wager from $5 up to your current total on the question that will appear after you determine your wager. The other contestants can not answer and you must answer correctly or lose the amount of wager. Hence the expression Alex I wish to make it a true daily double, when a contestant decides to wager everything and double there current amount or go down to zero. Contestants can also wager more than they have up to $1,000 in the first Jeopardy round and $2,000 in the Double Jeopardy round even if they are in a negative position before the wager.
What is the most money made on Jeopardy?
Of all the Jeopardy contestants playing non tournament final matches only 40 Games have had winners of $40,000 or more and half of those were won by Ken Jennings. If someone were actually lucky enough to have a perfect game and smart enough to answer every question first one wonders why they would be dumb enough to bet everything and risk losing it all not one, twice, or three times, but four times. Plus if the squares were to come up like suggested the odds are less than the chance of winning the powerball lottery. It's not going to happen and none will make the wager if it did. They are not even going to ring in. That they must also be first to answer the question is also part of this impossible theory that supposes that someone smart and intelligent enough would or could go against that intelligence and make those choices even if the unlikely events occurred In theory, the most that can be won on a single episode of Jeopardy is $566400 by the following calculations: The most that can be earned in the Jeopardy round is $35600 if the following criteria are met: All squares are answered correctly by the same person and the Daily Double is found on the last square opened which would have to be a $200 square. Therefore, you would have $17800 before the Jeopardy round Daily Double appeared. Wagering everything and answering it correctly would yield $35600 at the end of the first round. In the Double Jeopardy round, that same contestant must answer all questions correctly before finding the two Daily Doubles which would have to be under two of the $400 squares. Answering all questions correctly prior to the two Daily Doubles would yield an additional $35200. Add that to the $35600 earnings from the first round and you would have $70800 before answering the two Daily Doubles in the Double Jeopardy round. Wagering everything on the first Daily Double and answering correctly yields $14600. Repeating the process on the second Daily Double yields $283200 going into Final Jeopardy. Wagering everything in Final Jeopardy and answering correctly would yield $566400!
