one somebody tell me why the big game income

Not only does the federal government want a piece of your game show prize check, but so does your state of residence and the state where the game show was filmed. Here’s the truth about winning big on a game show - the side of winning they don’t tell the viewers watching at home: 1. Because even if I were able to pull of the kind of streak that Ken Jennings did, I wouldn’t be able to take home all the money I earned. Well, as long as there weren’t too many sports questions.Įven though visions of Alex Trebek and Daily Doubles dance in my head, I do know that winning Jeopardy will never be my path to riches.

Pair my status as a walking encyclopedia of useless information with my general lack of stage fright (teaching high school cured me of that), and I think I could potentially clean up on Jeopardy. I don’t have any illusions about being the next Ken Jennings, but I do have a very good memory for trivia - to the point where my husband refuses to play Trivial Pursuit with me anymore. One of my goals in life is to be a contestant on Jeopardy.
