When you play Jeopardy! do you keep the money you have won even though you didn't win the game?

Just wondering because I love the show.When you play Jeopardy! do you keep the money you have won even though you didn't win the game?
Starting with the 1984 revival, rather than receiving their scores in cash, runners-up are awarded consolation prizes; the second-place finisher is awarded $2,000 and the third place finisher is awarded $1,000. Prior to May 16, 2002, the second-place player typically received a vacation package and the third-place player received merchandise.



Since the show does not provide airfare or lodging for most contestants (airfare was provided for returning champions' subsequent flights to L.A.), these cash consolation prizes alleviated the financial burden of appearing on the show.When you play Jeopardy! do you keep the money you have won even though you didn't win the game?
