Do second and third place contestants on jeopardy win the amount of money they have at the end of the game?

Answer 1

The winner of the match gets to keep his winnings, the second place finisher receives a $2000 consolation prize (regardless of how much money he ended the game with) and the third place finisher receives a $1000 consolation prize (regardless of how much money he ended the game with.) If the returning champion does not win his next match, he keeps his winnings from the previous games plus receives either the $2000 or $1000 consolation prize for the current game. In the event of a first-place tie, the two returning champions play their next game against a new third contestant. Imagine the new contestant wins that game. He keeps his winnings and the departing champions get to keep their winnings from previous games plus the respective consolation prizes for the current game.

Only the winner of jeopardy gets to keep the money. They also get to come back and try to win more. Even when a winner comes back they only keep the money from earlier games won if they do not win the new game and a prize for the game they did not win. Jeopardy does give prizes for second and third place finishers Only during the Teen Tournament/College Championship finals match and other special shows do the rules change.. After 9 regular matches are played, the 9 winning contestants move on to the finals. In the quarterfinal's the 2 losers go home with an additional $5,000. In the semifinal's the losers leave with an additional $10,000. In the final match, the winner gets $75,000, 2nd place gets an additional $25,000, 3rd place gets an additional $15000, even if their original scores are lower The 2nd place finisher gets $2000.00 and 3rd place gets $1000.00, regardless of how much money they have or do not have at the end.
