Play perfectly, win less?

There's also Darryl Scott who infamously won with $1, whereas his opponents won some consolation prizes that were obviously worth way more.

Wouldn't a perfect Jeopardy be win the buzzer race every time and respond correctly everytime
However, even in that extremely unlikely event if hit daily doubles early you could still win less than many a James Holshower game.

Given the choice between a Yugo CV and a chance to win a trip to the Bahamas, I might take the chance to win a trip.

On TTD, if you get the Tic and the Tac in the bonus, you automatically get the dough, but not necessarily as much as if you had gotten a few dollar amounts that totaled more than $1,000.
