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.

Do you make more money on jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune?
Jeopardy was on first (1964), with Wheel of Fortune beginning its appearances in 1975. But the current syndicated run of Jeopardy began a year after Wheel of Fortune had moved to syndication (Wheel on September 19, 1983 and Jeopardy on September 10,1984). Wheel of Fortune has both more shows and more seasons in either daytime or syndicated formats.Jeopardy first aired on March 30 1964 until it was cancelled on January 3 1975. The weekly syndicated show ran from September 1974 until September 1975 and was brought back as a daily show in Oct 1978 till Mar 1979. The daytime Wheel of Fortune began almost 10 years after Jeopardy on January 6 1975 and continued until June 30 1989 with over 3000 episodes. The current nighttime Jeopardy syndicated show started in 1984, a year after Wheel of Fortune. However, Jeopardy has had more episodes during their syndicated show than the number of episodes of the Wheel of Fortune syndicated nighttime show, which began on 19 September 1983. So Jeopardy started first only if you count the non-syndicated cancelled shows. If you go by total time, Wheel of Fortune has been on for more TV seasons for both the new syndicated show and the older Daytime shows. So you can see it depends on how you want to decide what to count.
