What do second place Jeopardy losers get?

Answer by  technogeek (6640)

Since about 2002, the second place winner receives $2000 and the third place winner receives $1000, but the show does not provide for travel and accommodations for the contestant. Depending on where the contestant is coming from, the runner-up money will probably repay them for their travel and hotel stay.

The second place consolation prize for Jeopardy is $2,000 US dollars, third place wins $1,000 and the leader gets whatever they scored and plays on the next show.
