First, solve the first equation
Then, the last equation
And now to attack the middle equation

Here is the answer, along the X and Y axes are the sum of numbers in that row/ column to aid me in the solving process. I do not think any explanation is needed...

Assuming that when the final card of the deck is drawn, the running total remains and the deck is reshuffled.
The game will continue at most 3 times through the deck. The count begins at zero (0 modulo 3), after the first pass through the deck the sum is ten (1 modulo 3), and after the second it will be twenty (2 modulo 3), and then thirty (0 modulo 3).

Wrote an R script:
install.packages("combinat")
require(combinat)
#Creates all permutations for drawing four cards
data<-permn(1:4)
table<-matrix(nrow=length(data),ncol=4)
table<-as.data.frame(table)
for(i in 1:length(data)){
for(j in 1:4){
table[i,j]<-data[[i]][j]
}
}
#Don't care about Jill's second pull
table$V4<-NULL
table$sum<-...

I'm going to assume that if the fourth card is drawn, and a multiple of 3 is never reached, the game is considered drawn and this is not a win condition for Jack.
Let's start with the easy part:
Now going through other possibilities:
If Jack draws 1:
If Jack draws 2:
If Jack draws 4:
Ultimately, this gives him odds of:

Disclaimer: I'm typing this out as I'm thinking this through, so it's a bit disorganized. I'll go back and work on cleaning this up when I get the time.
Initially, looking at the rings:
Further testing of these combinations thins this down to:
Looking at the rings:
Likewise,
Now working from Ring E:
Finally:
Therefore we come to the final solution of:

Next, notice something similar in the
Since we have a 4 digit number as the result, we know that
But:
Thus,
Also, we know
Thus, the solution is;

Based on Omega Krypton's answer,

Since we know that
Therefore $A$
Hundreds value must carry since $O \neq 0$
Therefore
Therefore $O$
We now get
And since $S<9$
Then there are many possibilities... any relations I missed out?

Deducing $c, f, h$
regarding B, C:
only pair available for distance of 4 is:
Therefore,
Sum of 25 rule renders
Deducing the rest
regarding A, E:
only pair available for distance of 2 is:
Therefore,

In particular, the numbers
Option 1
Let's assume
Top row:
Right column:
So we have
The remaining numbers are
Option 2
Let's assume
Top row:
Right column:
So we have one of the following two possibilities:
The remaining numbers are respectively $2,6,8$ or $4,6,8$, so the complete grid is ...

Here's one that I found:
Here is one similar to micsthepick's answer:
And here is a hybrid of the two:
1
191, 426, 931, ???, ???, 646, 971, ???, ???
After looking for few minute I found pattern as
1.Sum of digit in series as 11,12,13, ???, ???,16,17,???, ???
2.the first digit: square of series 1,4,9,1(6),2(5),3(6),4(9),6(4),8(1)
3.the last digit is flipping between 1& 6
So using 1&2&3 pattern :626,591,486,991
