no
On the original Jeopardy in the 1960's, they did. But they found that it made people play too conservatively. Some people would come on the show with a goal of winning a certain amount of money, and stop answering questions when they got that much.
When they re-did the show in the 80's, that stopped.

I think they do now, but I'm not sure. I know the first place winner used to keep his money and the runners up would receive gifts, like trips or other prizes.
