    Jeopardy is all-or-nothing. Only the winner keeps his or her winnings. The two losers are sent home with merchandise consolation prizes.

    This is partly done to make Final Jeopardy interesting, because it forces the second and third place contestants to make a bet on their answer. Otherwise many contestants would simply bet $0 and keep their earnings.
