How much in taxes do winning jeopardy winners pay?

Answer 1

Do you mean of the average of what people won on a single game or all the money from a persons time on a show and just the winners and not the second and third place winnings. A link to Jeopardy shows the list of highest games from 75, 000 to just 30,000 and a quarter of those were won by Ken Jennings. An average amount won would be between 10 and 15 thousand, but they have many different methods to determine an average than to just total and divide.

Answer 2

Of the three contestants, the one who finishes with the most money wins the game and gets to keep the money. The contestant who finishes in second place receives $2000 and the third place finisher receives $1000. The winner of the show gets to return to play two new challengers. If the returning champion wins, that day's winnings are added to his previous winnings. If he finishes in second place, he receives $2000 for that game in addition to his previous winnings, if he finishes in third place, he receives $1000 plus previous winnings.
