Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for June 17
In the game held on June 17, it was the Daily Doubles that propelled Dan to win. Regrettably, there were no correct responses to the Final Jeopardy question during this round.
In the second round, Dan responded accurately more than 20 times and also attempted a few Daily Doubles. With that, he accumulated $16,000. However, his wrong guess of “John F Kennedy” cost him $5,201. Despite this setback, he was left with $10,799, which remained a substantial amount for securing the first place.
Initially, Stefany possessed $10,600, yet she only wagered $2,000, which wouldn’t have surpassed Dan’s score even if she answered correctly. She also selected “JFK” and retained her second position with a balance of $8,600.
Initially, Sarah, who previously won, started off powerfully but failed to expand her lead significantly during the second round. With just $8,000 in her pocket, she decided to stake a risky $7,000 on her answer “J.E. Hoover.” Ultimately, she ended up finishing third with a win of $1,000.
Final Jeopardy Answer for June 17
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on June 17, 2025 is “Who is George Wallace?”
The incident under discussion is the tragic bombing at the 16th Street Baptist Church, a hate crime carried out by white supremacists in September 1963. This devastating explosion was orchestrated by four Ku Klux Klan members and other segregationists, resulting in the heartbreaking deaths of four young girls aged between 11 and 14.
Martin Luther King, addressing George Wallace, the former governor of Alabama who advocated segregation and Jim Crow laws, sent a telegram stating, “The tragic deaths of four children… can be traced back to your hands. Your reckless and misguided actions have fostered an environment in Birmingham and Alabama that has led to persistent violence, now escalating to murder.
