Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for May 20
Brendan’s dominance in the second round gave him the win on the May 20 match as every contestant was stumped by the Final Jeopardy clue.
With a solid $19,200, Brendan’s lead heading into the segment made it safe for him to make the cover bet of $5,601. Though he got it wrong by guessing “Minnesota,” he leaves in first with $13,599.
Mitch didn’t perform poorly, getting $12,400 by the end of the second round. He lost $6,180 with his answer of “Indiana,” putting him in second with $6,220.
Wendy was also in contention with $11,900. She wagered $8,100 on “Colorado” and finished with $3,800 for third place.
Final Jeopardy Answer for May 20
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on May 20, 2025 is “What is Nevada?”
We won’t be surprised if no one guesses right here. The main hint here is about the NFL category. Most of the time, Jeopardy would make the category something broad like geography or state populations. But the specificity of the NFL could remind people about the Oakland Raiders voting to move the team to Las Vegas in 2017 and then officially making the move in 2020.
Otherwise, trying to figure out that the state with the lowest population density with an NFL team is Nevada is quite obscure. There are eight states, including Alaska, Wyoming, and Montana, that have lower population densities than Nevada.
