'Wheel of Fortune' contestant wins massive, historic prize but her celebration almost ends in disaster
Fox News
A lucky “Wheel of Fortune” contestant made history on the show Tuesday by being the first contestant ever to win a brand new house on the show.
Yahoo Entertainment reports that Trammell went into the bonus round with an already impressive $23,690 in prize money. The Mission Viejo, Calif. resident was in the right place at the right time as "Wheel of Fortune" is currently doing its "Home Sweet Home" giveaway in partnership with Latitude Margaritaville and Minto to offer the chance for contestants to earn a home in the final round of play. After spinning the envelope wheel, Trammell correctly solved the last puzzle, which read "I caught a glimpse." That’s when host Pat Sajak opened her envelope to reveal she was the lucky winner of the top prize of the night. Her new home is valued at $375,000, bringing her total prize money to $398,690.More Related News
