Question:
What's the lowest amount a contestant has won on Jeopardy?
I always thought it would be funny to see someone on Jeopardy win with only $1, but I've never seen it happen, so what's the lowest amount?

What's the lowest champion's winnings for one day?
Col. Darryl Scott won exactly $1 in his first game, on January 19, 1993. (He won his second game with over $13,000 and so doesn't hold the record for lowest overall winnings.)
I've recently discovered what I believe is the record for lowest total winnings: $100, earned by Jimmie Bucci around 1988. Next lowest would be 1992's Steven Rapkin, who won with $101.
