Jack became the winner of the March 13 match after being the only contestant to put down the right response for Final Jeopardy.

Final Jeopardy Answer for March 13
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on March 13, 2025 is “What is Twister?”
It’s always strange to find a Final Jeopardy clue with a quotation that has no attribution. The quote “scandalized the puritanical and drove chiropractors wild with delight” comes from a 2013 article from The New York Times, a eulogy for Chuck Foley, the designer of Twister, who passed away at the age of 82. In the 1960s, the game was criticized for skirting the lines of being inappropriate, likely because it involved players using their bodies as the actual playing pieces.
