Just the opposite happened on March 16, 2007. All three contestants ended Final Jeopardy! with the exact same dollar amount – $16,000.  They answered the final question correctly and all managed to bet an amount that would even them out. After the show, Jeopardy! execs contacted a Game Theory expert who calculated the odds of such a thing happening at 1 in 25 million. All three contestants returned the next day to face off again, the first time all three contestants had ever returned the next day in the show’s history.
