Question

What is the most amount of money you could win in one game of Jepordy?

Answer 1

Assume the Daily Double questions are on $200 & $400 clues allowing the maximum amount of money to be won with the regular questions.

That means in the Jeopardy round you can win $17,800 in regular questions.

($3,000 times 6 minus $200)

Double that with the Daily Double you have $35,600.

In Double Jeopardy you can win $35,200 in regular questions.

($6,000 times 6 minus $800)

Add that to the $35,600 from the first round = $70,800.

Double that for the first Daily Double = $141,600.

Double that for the second Daily Double = $283,200.

Double that for Final Jeopardy = $566,400.

Answer 2

1,500 per category, about 6 categories:

9,000 per single Jeopardy.

3,000 on double Jeopardy, 6 categories:

18,000 per double Jeopardy.

The final question: risk all you have:

The total is 54,000 dollars*.

*not including daily doubles.

Answer 3

3000(5) + 2800 doubled = 35,600

6000(5) + 4800 doubled three times = 563,200

$563,200 is the most you could get in one game
