Neither of them wanted to die, or see the other one dead, so Katniss came up with the idea that both she and Peeta would eat a handful of poisonous berries.Then they would both be dead and there would be no winner. The capitol couldn't have that, so they were both made winners.
I've heard that they do get to keep it but it's not the one that they give out when they announce their name when they win people backstage have the actual statue then they give it to whomever won.
The Hunger Games are trilogy of novels that take place in a post-apocalyptic North America by Suzanne Collins. Also in these novels there is a event in which 24 tributes from 13 districts ( 2 from each district) battle to the death until one remains. it is about a girl named katniss from the seam (district 12) and ever year they hold a Hunger Games to basically tell/show the districts that they can have you killed in a snap of a finger and that scares them so they wont rebel.and katniss voulinteers herself because her sister is choosen at the reaping so she goes to the hunger games and the boy tribute (peeta) is "in love" with katniss so they are the star crossed lovers and so they enter the hunger games and peeta is with the carrers the people who wanted to enter The Hunger Games and he does that to stay alive andthen the game makers announce that 2 tributes can win if they are from the same district and so katniss and peeta team up/ form an ally so then there are only 6 people left so then they announce there is a feast and there a back packs and before katniss found peeta he was wounded by a carrer and he needed medicine so peeta told her not to risk her life for him so she gave him sleeping syrup and then she went to the feast and almost killed by clove (carrer) and then thresh kills clove and spares katnisses life because she was rues ally at first before killed by district 1 boy marvel and then she goes back to peeta and heals him then when he is healed they go to the cornucopia and wait for cato and then he comes running and there are wolf muttations and then they almost die then they end up killing cato and so katniss and peeta win the hunger games? no! wrong then the game makers announce that the rules are change and katniss and peeta have to fight to the death and so they try to commit suicide and the the game makers announces the winners of the 74th hunger games! Peeta Mellark and Katniss Everdeen the girl that was on fire!
Katniss Everdeen is a girl from District 12, one of the least wealthy Districts in Panem (the country of the hunger games - future n. america). Panem's capital is aptly named The Capitol. 74 years before the events of the film, a war broke out between the Capitol and the 13 districts, which resulted in one district (d.13) being blown up. Every year since then, 24 children aged 12-18, have been selected to take part in the hunger games - a battle to the death with one surviver. Katniss' sister, Prim, is 12 and has her name in the Reaping bowl once. Prim is chosen to enter the Hunger Games, but Katniss volunteers to take her place. Peeta Mellark is chosen in the boys' category and he has had a long-time crush on Katniss. The two tributes are taken to the Capitol and are interviewed and paraded before the citizens of the Capitol, who are sponsors for the Games (they can send the tributes life-saving gifts in the arena). Katniss and Peeta make a great entrance as their stylist gives their outfits the illusion of being on fire. The Games start after a few days of training and begins with a bloodbath, during which many less skilled tributes are killed as they run for supplies at the Cornucopia. Peeta runs away, whilst Katniss grabs a backpack before running off and narrowly missing being stabbed by an axe and a throwing knife. Many events are forced upon Katniss such as dehydration to the point of almost death, fireballs singeing her leg and being stung multiple times by specialised wasps known as tracker jackers, which can cause hallucinations with the possibility of death. She allies with the little girl from District 11; however the little girl is killed by one of the Career tributes (the tributes that have trained illegally for the games for most of their lives). Katniss tries to find Peeta after the gamemakers announce that there can be two winners this year, instead of one, if both tributes are from the same District. She finds him, but he has been wounded by one of the Careers, she helps him clean up and he comes down with a fever that night as he sleeps. The gamemakers announce that there will be a feast, and each tribute can collect a package that they desperately need. Katniss goes to get the pack, even though Peeta asks her not to. She secures the pack at the feast, but is hindered by one of the Careers who throws a knife at her brow. Just as the girl is about to kill her, the male from District 11 kills the career and spares Katniss' life because she helped Rue (the girl from 11). Now, only a few tributes remain and the gamemakers unleash deadly mutts, which are designed to kill the tributes and are made to look like the tributes who died during the Games. Only Katniss, Peeta and Cato (the remaining Career) make it to the safety of the Cornucopia, where they battle to keep alive. Peeta is wounded by one of the muttations. Cato puts Peeta in a headlock and threatens to break his neck, resulting in Katniss shooting an arrow at his hand to make him let go of Peeta. Peeta then throws him over the edge of the horn and down to the mutts below. They begin to tear at him, and after hours of his screams, he still has not died so Katniss shoots him out of pity to end his agony. Peeta is bleeding profusely from the wound he obtained from the muttation and Katniss uses an arrow as a tourniquet to try and stench the flow of blood. Katniss and Peeta are the last remaining tributes from the same District and wait to be picked up. The hovercraft does not arrive to rescue them, and they are told that the earlier rule change has been revoked - there can once again only be one winner. Peeta tells Katniss to kill them, but Katniss refuses, stating that they should die together because they love each other. They prepare to commit suicide by swallowing poisonous berries, but are stopped at the last minute. The President of Panem is outraged by their actions, and kills the head gamemaker for allowing this outcome to be possible. Peeta has to have his leg amputated as a result of Katniss' tourniquet damaging his lower leg, but he has a prosthetic replacement. That's pretty much it for the first book. Oh, and Katniss tells Peeta that she doesn't really love him, and that she only put it on for the Games, to survive.
They are taken back to District 12, but because they have sparked a rebellion they are taken into the Hunger Games arena for the Quarter Quell, this year's twist being that previous winners will be reaped, and Katniss is the only girl winner of District 12 so she is guaranteed to be chosen. I won't give anything else away, but let's just say that they make some new friends in the arena.
The Gamemakers declear that Peeta and Katniss ARE THE WINNERS
The gamemakers announced that 2 people can win and beaome victors if they share the same district. then later Katniss and Peeta killed everyone else even Cato! Then the gamemakers announced they changed the rules again. Now only one person could win and go home to their district. Katniss could not stand for that so she pulled out nightlock, a poisoness berry that they used to kill foxfae and tHEY BOTH TRIED TO KILL themselves but, then the gamemakers announced them winners right at the last moment. this was an act of rebellion to President Snow! You have to know what happens Next! Can't tell you Though! I <3 THE HUNGER GAMES SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH.
Believe they said they were gonna kill themselves, so there would be no winner, and the Gamemakers decided to let them both win.
They go home.
He's not really angry at that, but he's concerned due to the stunt Katniss pulled off which forced the Gamemakers to either have both her and Peeta the winners, or no winner at all; all or nothing
I'm pretty sure they will kinzpost you but i do not know when exactly after they post the winners
They picked the winner on March 31 and are yet to announce but it will probably be soon.
Peeta and Katniss are both declared winners, Katniss blows off Peeta's affections.
I believe they already did.
The "Master of Ceremonies" @ pageants announce the contestants and tell about them while they are on stage. They also announce all the winners and the additional awards.
The final five contestants are: Thresh "Foxface" Cato Peeta and Katniss. Peeta and Katniss are both the winners.
In "The Hunger Games", Katniss killed Marvel and shot Cato in the hand with arrows. Peeta never really killed anyone; the majority of the tributes were killed in the beginning of the Games because they headed right for the Cornucopia.
