Jamie Ding Secures 15th Jeopardy! Victory with Final Jeopardy Triumph

Jamie Ding recorded his 15th straight win on Jeopardy! with a $56,400 single-day score. His cumulative total now stands at $428,000.

Brief show context

Jeopardy! has aired for more than six decades. The modern version began in 1984 under hosts like Ken Jennings, a former record-breaking champion.

Contestants and backgrounds

• Jamie Ding — a bureaucrat and law student from Lawrenceville, New Jersey.
• Brian Chu — a professor based in Cary, North Carolina.
• Nikki Svetov — an entertainment strategist originally from Long Island, New York.

Daily Double, buzzer timing and wagers

Ding set a personal single-day high with $56,400. He answered Final Jeopardy correctly to reach that mark.

He entered the game with dominant buzzer timing. Ding hit first on 40 of 57 clues, a 70.18% success rate.

On the game’s final Daily Double he wagered $21,200 and missed. That wager was reportedly the largest incorrect Daily Double in regular-season Jeopardy! history.

Final Jeopardy: category, clue and outcomes

The category was “Historic Names.” The clue referenced a man France posthumously made a brigadier general in 2025. The correct response was Alfred Dreyfus.

Implications and next steps

Ding’s performance moved him past Harrison Whitaker in the Tournament of Champions tracker. That advancement nearly guarantees him a bye into the semifinals.

If he had answered the missed Daily Double correctly, he might have set a new single-day record. He returns the next episode to pursue a 16th consecutive win.

When and where to watch

Jeopardy! returns Friday, April 3, with a new episode. The series streams on Hulu and Peacock the following day.
