Do jeopardy contestants get game categories to study beforehand?

and does the 2n and 3rd place winners get to keep the money they end up with?Do jeopardy contestants get game categories to study beforehand?
According to Ken Jennings of Jeopardy fame, no, they do not know the categories ahead of time:

"Do they tell you in advance what the categories are going to be on your show, so you can study up?

I don't know where people get this idea, but I get asked this all the time. No, you don't see the categories until the second the viewers at home do. And then you're like, "$#%%26amp;, 'Hockey' again?!""
