Only the winner gets to keep the amount that he wins.
He was never tied. The next person has way less Jeopardy winnings
Yes they keep there winnings, but only the First place player's winnings are the cash for the Jeopardy total score. The second and third place winnings are prizes of 1,000 and 2,000 dollars
It takes up to 120 days to get your winnings.
No but they are given consolation prizes
Generally, contestants will have to wait 90-120 days to receive their winnings. However, the amount of time can vary, and is only an estimate.
1$ and then there was the show that had no winner and all 3 tied
no Second place gets 2000 dollars and third 1000 dollars
They are not paid right away and must wait until after the program has aired
No you must wager at least $5 for the daily doubles. Double Jeopardy is what the second round is called and it has two daily doubles while the Jeopardy round has only one
Jesse Cuevas, originally from Kansas, won for the 2nd day, adding $27,600 to his winnings.
The winner keeps the winnings and comes back to play again. Second place pays $2000 and third $1000
Jeopardy is a copyrighted game and even the PowerPoint program would need approval
Only the player who wins keeps their winnings. The second place contestant gets $2,000, and the third place contestant gets $1,000. On the Art Fleming versions, all players kept their winnings regardless of outcome, which was changed on the current version of the show to only the first place contestant doing so.
There are 1 in the first round 2 of them in the second Double Jeopardy round and you could call final jeopardy the 4th since you can double your money if you bet it all, but is is not called a daily double so the answer is 3
$566,400. In the first round of Jeopardy there is $18,000 on the board (1000 + 800 + 600 + 400 + 200 = 3000 times 6 categories = 18,000). If one contestant got all of the 'questions' correct, the Daily Double were in a $200 dollar slot, and the Daily Double was the last slot selected for the first round, that contestant would have $17,800 at the time of selecting the Daily Double. Betting all of that and giving the correct question to the answer would give the contestant $35,600 for the first round. In the second round of Jeopardy (Double Jeopardy) there is $36,000 on the board (2000 + 1600 + 1200 + 800 + 400 = 6000 times 6 categories = 36,000). If the same contestant got all of the 'questions' correct, the Daily Doubles (2 Daily Doubles in Double Jeopardy) were in $400 dollar slots, and the Daily Doubles were the last two slots selected for the round, that contestant would have $70,800 at the time of selecting the first Daily Double ($35,600 from the first round and $35,200 from the second round). Selecting the first Daily Double, betting it all and giving the correct question would give the contestant $141,600. Selecting the second Daily Double, betting it all, and giving the correct question would give the contestant $283,200. Then the contestant bets it all in Final Jeopardy and gives the correct question to win $566,400. There used to be a cap on winnings in one day and on the number of times a champion can return, however, these rules have been changed, so there is no winnings limit, and a champion may reign indefinitely.

Not just the location of the doubles but also the other contestants failing to answer any questions

Eureka Nutt, a paralegal from Canoga Park, California (whose 1-day cash winnings total $18,801)
When you watch the show they show you what they get. Wheel of Fortune is not Jeopardy. You keep your winnings and if you don.t have any they give you $1,000.
No, the second place contestant gets $2,000 and the third place contestant gets $1,000. Though, in the Art Fleming version of the show, all contestants kept their winnings regardless of outcome.
