‘Wheel Of Fortune’ Player’s Huge Win Stuns Ryan Seacrest
Wheel Of Fortune is, at the end of the day, a game of chance. However, based on recent scenes, one player had luck on their side, and their hefty winning total even shocked host Ryan Seacrest. So, what happened in recent game show scenes, and how much did this player walk away with?
Wheel Of Fortune Is A Game Of Luck
While Wheel Of Fortune players may be some of the best puzzle solvers around, an unlucky break can completely change the trajectory of someone’s game. As longtime fans have seen over the years, one bad wheel spin can completely kill someone’s momentum, especially if a player lands on the dreaded bankrupt spot on the wheel.
In addition to that, unlucky breaks when it comes to the letters players choose can also mean the difference between walking away with a huge payday or going home with nothing. As Wheel Of Fortune fans see on a regular basis, picking the wrong letters once you get to the big money puzzle at the end is enough to keep someone from solving the puzzle, right at the finish line to boot.
Recent Player Had Luck On Their Side
In recent scenes, one Wheel Of Fortune player seemed to have all the luck in the world right in his back pocket. Thomas Russo from Scarsdale, New York, was a big winner on a recent episode of the game show. So much so that he even shocked host, Ryan Seacrest.
Following a relatively slow start to his Wheel Of Fortune game, Russo quickly made up for lost time. He won several rounds, and even snagged a trip to the Caribbean in the process. Prior to advancing to the coveted Bonus Round, he had already pocketed more than $17k in cash winnings.

By the time Russo made it to the final Wheel Of Fortune round, he already built up considerable momentum going into it. Looking at the puzzle in front of him, he selected the letters “H, G, C, and I” to go with the usual “R, S, T, L, N, and E.”
All said and done, Thomas Russo was looking at a puzzle like this: “_ _ _ I N G / T H _ N G S / H _ _ _ E N.”
Luckily for him, it did not take Thomas Russo very long to call out: “MAKING THINGS HAPPEN.”
The shock came a few moments later, when it was revealed that he would be adding an extra $40k to his winning total. All included, he walked away with an impressive $57,100.
