There are three things guaranteed in the world today: Death, taxes, and Jeopardy! being on. Believe it or not, the iconic game show has been on the air for over 60 years (though the modern incarnation we know and love technically debuted in 1984). Under the watchful eye of Ken Jennings (who himself was a record-breaking champion), Jeopardy! puts three people’s trivia skills and reflexes to the ultimate test. And so many of the greats to grace those podiums started by simply watching the show as it aired on weekdays, as millions have done for over half a century.
Here’s a spoiler-filled recap of who won Jeopardy! today, plus the answer to Final Jeopardy.

The answer: What is North Carolina?
Going into Final Jeopardy, Ding held a commanding lead with $29,400, compared to Ayers’ $6,600 and Politano’s $4,000. Ayers wagered $1,401 and initially wrote “What is Missouri” before changing her answer to North Carolina, while Politano wagered $2,601 and responded correctly. Ding took full advantage of the opportunity to get more in the prize pot, wagering $16,160 and responding correctly, for a 13-day total of $360,000.
