“They knew the answer, I guessed,” Holzhauer said Wednesday about getting it right on Final Jeopardy.
James Holzhauer has made a habit of winning on Jeopardy!, even when he has a below-average performance. Holzhauer won his 15th game on the show Wednesday, raking in another $73,621, which brings his total winnings to $1,135,175.
To say he was below average Wednesday was accurate for his daily earnings. Having hit more than $100,000 in daily winnings multiple times, Holzhauer is averaging $75,000 per game. Holzhauer, as the returning champion, gets to lead off by choosing the first spot on the board. Traditionally, players start with the lower dollar amounts and work their way to higher amounts. Holzhauer does the opposite, choosing categories and dollar amounts at the highest levels.
By the end of the first round Wednesday, Holzhauer had accumulated $20,000 while his competitors combined for just more than $5,000. He won another $29,000 in the second round and wagered only half his winnings in Final Jeopardy. Had he not correctly “guessed,” he still would have won by more than $5,000 over his next competitor."I am in awe of Ken Jennings’s accomplishments, as all Jeopardy! fans are.
