WHO IS… THE WINNER?
James won Jeopardy! Masters after playing his cards right in a nail-biter finale.
Mattea was leading going into a crucial triple-stumper Final Jeopardy but James pulled through with a safer bet, winning $500,000.
After three weeks of can’t-miss matchups, Jeopardy! Masters has crowned its winner but it was no clean sweep.
Mattea – who uses they-them pronouns – James, and Matt emerged as the finalists and James won by a mere 2100 combined points.
On Wednesday, May 24, the trio competed for the title in two last lashes, or a two-game total point affair- with the 24-year-old putting up huge numbers against the formidable James.
Hosted again by Ken Jennings, the finals saw the previous standings wiped clean with the $500,000 grand prize, “Trebek Trophy” and masterful bagging rights just barely going to the pro gambler.
Ken announced that all three will be guaranteed slots in next year’s Masters – and James won an additional $100,000 for Project 150 (which helps Las Vegas-area high school students with insecure housing).
