Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for June 5

On June 5, Nikhil emerged victorious as the new Jeopardy champion, playing it safe during Final Jeopardy. True to our predictions, none of the contestants answered the challenging final question correctly, resulting in a relatively modest game.

As a gaming enthusiast, I, myself, had a cool $5,400 and took a shot in the dark by guessing “Nintendo.” Unfortunately, my intuition steered me wrong this time. However, in the spirit of calculated risks, I decided to keep my bets minimal and let luck play its part. To my surprise, my total was still high enough to secure a win at the end!

Initially, Joey was ahead with a total of $7,400, but he ended up losing $3,401 when he bet on “Samsung.” As a result, he wound up in second position with $3,999 remaining.

With a budget of just $1,400, Sarah had limited resources to work with. Moreover, she didn’t stake anything on her guess of “H&R Block” and managed to secure the third position.

Final Jeopardy Answer for June 5

The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on June 5, 2025 is “What is Atari?”

This clue might prove challenging as the terminology in this Japanese board game named Go is not commonly known among many Americans. An “atari” refers to a set of stones that are on the verge of being captured, much like when chess players shout “check” to indicate the king is under threat. Stones about to be surrounded and taken are said to be “in atari.” Interestingly, in Japan, people also use “atari” to express good fortune, such as winning a prize or when a prediction comes true. The video game console Atari was named after this board game, due to one of its founders, Nolan Bushnell, being fond of Go.
