Final Jeopardy bets and winner for January 13th

In a nail-biter, Will Yancey won the match on January 13, 2025 after getting past the leader, Jen, with a correct answer in Final Jeopardy.

Jen had a slight lead of just $400 over Will heading into the final segment and made a conservative bet of $2,000. But her incorrect answer “Tudor Crown” dropped her score from $10,200 to $8,200 for second place.

Will managed to walk away with the win by betting $4,000 of his $9,800 and finished first with $13,800. He becomes an instant semi-finalist.

Meanwhile, Paul also got the answer right, doubling from $4,000 to $8,000. However, it was only good enough for third place. It will be difficult for Jen and Paul to come through as a wild card.

Final Jeopardy Answer for January 13th

The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on January 13, 2025 is “What is a sovereign?”

This shouldn’t be too hard to figure out since a “sovereign” is another word for a coin. If you’ve played various video games, such as Skull and Bones or Ultima Online, you might recognize it immediately. More likely, the more historically astute will know that the sovereign was minted in 1489 by King Henry VII and had a face value of one pound sterling. Its name comes from its large size with an engraved image of the monarch on the obverse, with the first sovereigns made of 23 carat gold.
