‘Wheel Of Fortune’ What Happens When Players Can’t Go On Prize Trips?
Winning prizes on Wheel Of Fortune is a big part of the show. Recently, many viewers were curious about what happens if winners can’t go on the trips they win, as well as if they are able to upgrade the cars they win on the show as well. So, what are viewers saying about this?
Winning A Trip On Wheel Of Fortune Is Its Own Victory
Even if players don’t always make it to the Bonus Round on Wheel Of Fortune, winning a trip on the show is usually a big deal. These are not local trips at the Holiday Inn or Motel 6. The vast majority of trips on the show are all-inclusive packages valued at thousands of dollars. So, winning one is its own victory.
Many of the destination prizes on the show include trips to exotic locations like the Maldives or Hawaii. Sometimes, this includes all-inclusive cruises as well. Often, the trips can be worth more than the money total that most players take home, especially if they win a trip but come in second or third on their episode.
What Happens If Winners Can’t Go On Trips?
As anyone who travels knows, things can come up that may prevent someone from going on a trip, even when they win it on Wheel Of Fortune. Things like illness or scheduling conflicts could arise. Recently, there was discussion among fans regarding what happens if and when a winner is unable to go on their trip.
- One commenter said: “I think with most game shows, since the trips/prizes are sponsored, you either accept and pay taxes on it or you get nothing. No cash option!”
- A second commenter agreed, saying: “This is correct. You don’t have to take the trip (and if you don’t take the trip you don’t pay taxes on it) but you can’t take the cash equivalent. The best part about winning a trip on Wheel though is that it contributes to your score. Winning the Prize Puzzle is often a ticket to the bonus round.”
Wheel Of Fortune Player Dishes On What Happens When You Win A Car
Aside from elaborate trips, another thing that Wheel Of Fortune fans regularly win is brand-new cars. Many commenters wondered about how it works when you win a vehicle, and whether or not you have to pay out of pocket for upgrades. Luckily, a commenter who won a car previously on the show chimed in with their experience.
The commenter said: “Hi there! Won a car in the bonus round back in season 41! You get the MSRP of the car on the show and can use that to get any car in that line-up. I won a mini coop but upgraded mine so had to pay a bit more out of pocket.”
