‘Wheel of Fortune’ Contestant Wins $50,000 with Last-Second Puzzle Solution
A contestant on “Wheel of Fortune,” Megan Zandrowicz, experienced a thrilling finale that culminated in a substantial win of $50,000. The episode showcased the challenges contestants often face, as Zandrowicz initially struggled but ultimately triumphed in the last moments of the game.
Megan’s Journey to Victory
Zandrowicz faced a tough start, trailing behind her competitors. Misfortune struck when she landed on a Bankrupt space early in the game. However, her fortunes changed during the Express Round. She cracked the prize puzzle and won a trip to the Ylang Ylang Beach Resort in Costa Rica, valued at $7,749, as noted in Andy Nguyen’s blog.
Impressive Comeback
Although she started slow, Zandrowicz’s performance improved significantly in the Triple Toss-up round. She managed to secure $14,999 in cash, propelling her into the Bonus Round. For her final challenge, she selected the “What Are You Doing?” category.
The Final Puzzle
Accompanied by her husband, Rob, Zandrowicz approached the Bonus Round with both excitement and determination. After the standard letters “R, S, T, L, N, E” were revealed, she chose “C, D, H, and I” as her additional letters. The puzzle displayed as follows:
“_ R _ _ S I N _ T H R _ _ _ H _ I C S”
When the ten-second timer began, Zandrowicz exhibited confidence. Her first guess, “Cruising through pics,” was incorrect, but she quickly recalibrated her thoughts. Her next answer, “Browsing Through Pics,” was spot on, winning her an additional $50,000.
