Hmm...They all had different amounts and all wound up with $16k at the end. 1 in 25 million odds of having a 3-way tie.

Ahh, when SNL was good. I miss those days. I don't think I've seen an episode in over a year.

NBC25 NEWS- For the first time in Jeopardy history, a three way tie happened, and a local man said he orchestrated the tie on purpose. Scott Weiss of Walkersville said he orchestrated the tie on purpose. Weiss, along with two other contestants on the game show, all finished with exactly $16,000 after answering the final question correctly on Friday's show.
Jeopardy Host, Alex Trebek, said in the shows 23-year run, he has never seen anything like it before. Weiss told NBC25 he was in the lead at the end of the game and made his wager with the hopes there would be a three-way tie that would be a part of jeopardy history.
The odds of a 3-way tie are 1 in 25,000,000. A taped rematch will air on NBC25 at 7 p.m. on Monday, March 19th.
That about sums it up but here is the link to the story.
