'Wheel of Fortune' contestant wins massive, historic prize but her celebration almost ends in disaster
A lucky "Wheel of Fortune" contestant made history on the show Tuesday by being the first contestant ever to win a brand new house on the show. In what might be literally the biggest prize the show has ever seen, sixth grade teacher Laura Trammell appeared on the show and made it all the way to the bonus round, where a lucky spin and a clever puzzle solve earned her a brand new pad in a Latitude Margaritaville community. Yahoo Entertainment reports that Trammell went into the bonus round with an already impressive $23,690 in prize money.The Mission Viejo, Calif.
