Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for June 10
Matt, with a risky True Daily Double that paid off, had a runaway victory and won the June 10 match handedly. He was one of two contestants to provide the right response to the Final Jeopardy clue.
With $24,000 by the second round, Matt had more than enough to secure the win. He still earned an extra $6,000 with his right answer and finished with $30,000.

John wasn’t close behind Jackie with $6,600 and lost a wagered $6,599 with his answer of “Jackson.” He left in third with just $1.
Final Jeopardy Answer for June 10
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on June 10, 2025 is “What is Orlando, Florida?”
There are many stories as to how Orlando got its name. A local resident named James Speer apparently said that the town (then known as Jernigan) was called Orlando’s grave and his family claimed that he merely wanted to name the city Orlando after the same character from Shakespeare’s “As You Like It” because it was his favorite play. Another story says that a man named Orlando died from an attack from Native Americans during the Second Seminole War, also known as the Florida War, that lasted from 1835 to 1842. At any rate, contestants will likely need to know about the characters in the play to know which city the clue is talking about.
