Matt DeSanto and his 2 competitors had a 3-word, 13-letter puzzle to solve. It was a character. There was one clue: a letter E at the end of the second word.
DeSanto amazingly nailed the correct answer instantly. There was no hesitation. He clicked on his buzzer and won $91,892. In the 39 years that the game show Wheel of Fortune has been on the air, no one has won as much money during normal gameplay.

I'm sure "Standards & Practices" have checked it out. Ok, maybe they have. I saw that show too. I feel sorry for contestants who go through a fairly rigorous selection process, get on the show and watch someone else win all the money and prizes available. They only get $1K for being on the show. I'm still waiting for our Spin ID numbers to pop up so I can win a prize. BTW--the guy blew the final puzzle. I bet everyone was yelling the answer at their TV, and the stage director was motioning to the studio audience to keep quiet. Yes, I saw a taping session once.

I watched that episode last week and noticed that he would spin the wheel consistently so that it kept stopping within about 2 clicks each time. I felt sorry for the other 2 contestants who didn't stand a chance and when they did finally get to spin, they landed on Bankrupt or Lose a Turn.
