'Wheel of Fortune' host Pat Sajak jokingly walks off set after unprecedented grand prize win
Just when "Wheel of Fortune" fans thought they’d seen everything, the show shocked them again with an unprecedented third grand prize bonus round win in one week. For the third day in a row, the contestant who made it to the game show’s bonus round managed to not only solve the puzzle but earn the top prize of $100,000, something that has never been done in the show’s nearly 40-year history. Not only has the grand prize payout not been given out more than once in a single week, but this latest streak also happened on back-to-back days. After Tuesday’s surprising second win in a row, Yahoo Entertainment reports that Sajak opened the show by joking about how much money had been given away in just the past 48 hours.
