Team Brad will share a $1 million grand prize, while Team Ken will split $300,000 and Team Colby will take home $100,000. “While the money is certainly nice, the biggest reward is to be able to compete with the best of the best, who also happen to be great people, and to have a lot of fun doing it,” said Rutter, who already held the record for most money won on a game show going into the All-Star Games. “The highlight for me was getting to be a part of a team. There’s always a camaraderie among JEOPARDY! players who are playing against each other; it was really cool to be able to encourage each other and pick each other up if things weren’t going as well as they could have.” After the first game of the two-day final, Team Brad had $36,000, a slight lead over Team Ken with $32,500; Team Colby trailed with $8,000.
