It’s Wheel of Fortune, Big Money Week, and we’re posting the Bonus Puzzle with the winner’s final prize amount. By way of comparison, the Jeopardy! payoff is also included with a link to the recap of that game.

Just a note on the Jeopardy! results this week: the College Championship is going on so for the first 3 days, the winner gets a spot in the 2-day final. The $100,000 grand prize is awarded on Friday.

Mon 4-16-18 Wheel: $12,300
On Jeopardy: $43,601

Chris Szczepanski had two letters that fit in the puzzle: a C and a P and she was on top of half the compound word. She just couldn’t figure it out completely before the time was up. We’re starting out with a lost BMW 320i, just like last Monday.

Tue 4-17-18 Wheel: $16,987
On Jeopardy: $28,401

Michele Brown added just her vowel, the letter I. That kind of put her out in left field for sure and, again, the BMW 320i was the prize. We’re beginning to think that car is a jinx.

Wed 4-18-18 Wheel: $20,550
On Jeopardy: $20,000

Jennifer Blood got an H, a P and an O out of her letter choices, just about filling in the last word. With only two letters in the hyphenated first word, she could not solve. That pesky BMW 320i was on the card again!

Thu 4-19-18 Wheel: $44,840
On Jeopardy: $9,000

Charlie Baker Boyd didn’t get any of his letters to help him out. To make matters worse, only a lonely N was turned over. Pat got a kick out of his pepperoni guess, given that the category was “Living Things.” Charlie lost out on an extra $35K, but congrats on his big win, and congrats to the RL8326003 Wheel Watcher, you lucky devil!

Fri 4-20-18 Wheel: $75,550
On Jeopardy: $100,000

Wendy Quinlan added two B’s and one P to her puzzle and that was all she needed. Wendy didn’t choose the $1 million card from the Wheel. It was in a different “E’ than the one she picked. Her “E” contained $50,000 to go with the $25,550 from the main round, but you don’t see that everyday, do ya? If Spin I.D. BM6868237 tuned in, s/he also won that amount. Wow! Big Money on Thursday and Bigger Money on Friday.
