A “Jeopardy!” contestant lost big on Wednesday night’s episode, and fans have been quick to let him know what he did wrong.Going into the Final Jeopardy round, a man named John was in second place with $14,200, trailing $9,000 behind the contestant in first place. He was the only player to answer the clue correctly, but thanks to his decision to not bet any of his winnings, he failed to win the game.With a category of “American Immigrants,” the clue read, “His 1904 will stipulated that ‘All the sums hereinbefore specified for prizes shall be used for prizes only.’”Evan, who was in third place with $6,000, and Kendra, who was in the lead, both guessed “Nobel.” Alfred Nobel died in 1896, and while he did work in America, he never immigrated.John was the only one who answered correctly with “Pulitzer.” Joseph Pulitzer, another man with a famous prize named after him, was alive to write a will in 1904.
