Do game shows account for inflation when distributing cash prizes? (sh.itjust.works)

With all of this inflation, why have cash prizes remained the same? (For example, Jeopardy always has the minimum of $200 per clue; why does that never go up?)

Why would they do that? Game shows are not trying to give winners a certain level of buying power. They are trying to make money by sell advertising slots and produce a show for as little as possible.
