‘Wheel Of Fortune’ Contestant Wins $100K At Last Second
Shockingly, a second person has already won the $100,000 grand prize on Wheel of Fortune. However, the big win was a very close call. Here is a look at what happened in the game show episode.
Man Wins Second $100,000 Bonus Prize On Wheel Of Fortune
On Monday, a contestant named Brent was on Wheel of Fortune, and he had already come into the bonus round with some nice prizes. The BBQ chef from Arkansas had already won $20,700 in cash and a trip to St. Lucia. With him on the show were his parents, who were standing off to the side as he headed to the bonus round.
Brent got the best possible category considering his occupation, and he selected “Food and Drink.” He then guessed his letters as “G, C, P, O.” This left a three-word puzzle on the board, reading, “_OT / _ _ _ GE / TOPP_NG.” Ryan Seacrest was impressed, and said that it was “Not bad!”
However, while many people seemed to already know the answer, Brent stood there confused for a moment. He had 10 seconds to solve it, and he said, “Hot Large Topping,” which was wrong. Then, with only four seconds left on the timer, he said, “Hot Fudge Topping.”
That was the right answer, and Ryan Seacrest congratulated him and opened the prize card to show it had $100,000 in it. Confetti exploded, Brent celebrated with his parents, and he went home with $120,704 and the trip.
Wheel Of Fortune Fans Chime In On Close-Call Win
This was different from last week. In that episode, a former school teacher had a chance to win $50,000. However, she couldn’t figure out the answer, “Keep Up The Good Work.” In that situation, many fans were shocked a former teacher wouldn’t guess that term.
This was another similar case, with a chef getting a food question. However, “fudge” wasn’t that easy to guess for a BBQ chef, so him getting it was a big deal. Here is a sample of fan comments after his win with four seconds remaining:
- “What a great way to start off this week and it literally gave me a heart attack!”
- “I kept yelling ‘Hot Fudge Topping.’ Congratulations on winning $100,000, Brent”
- “Great player. Thank goodness ‘fudge’ came to him. What a nice piece of change!”
This continues the exciting Wheel of Fortune episodes this season as Ryan Seacrest settles in as the new host.
