I Feel Like A Million Bucks

Well, folks, it had to happen sooner or later. If you have seen the promos, then you know that "Wheel Of Fortune" is giving players a chance to win $1 MILLION in the bonus round. The trick, however, is getting there. Let me explain it to you. First, you must land on a special space on the wheel that says "ONE MILLION", then guess a letter in the puzzle to pick up the space. My illustration of both sides of the $1 million space is right here:

Once you have the space, the idea is to hold on to it the entire game without running into a BANKRUPT space on the wheel, then to get to the bonus round. If you do, then the $100K card is replaced with a "ONE MILLION DOLLARS" card like this:

Sure, the task looks tough...or so we thought until this past Tuesday evening (October 14,2008). Michelle Loewenstein, who is a newlywed and floral designer who lives in Santa Monica, California, did all the above, got to the bonus round, and solved the Bonus Round puzzle "LEAKY FAUCET". We open up the card and...ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!! WHEEE! IT'S CONFETTI TIME!! If you want to view this, I have this YouTube clip of it right here for you.

Who will be next to take "Wheel" for a cool million?
