wheely poor luck. Outgoing “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak attempted to console a contestant Monday when he lost his chance to win $1 million after failing to solve a nearly complete puzzle during the show. During the show’s third puzzle of “fun and games,” contestant Izzy Santiago, who was leading the competition with $2,550, spun big by landing on the coveted $1 million slat.After correctly guessing the letter “F,” Santiago was presented with a nearly complete board reading “_ra_i_g from _ame_ from a hat.” It was then that Sajak, 76, announced that the man had two choices.
