It’s Wheel of Fortune, Wheel Across America, 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.

Mon 3-4-19 $48,831
On Jeopardy: $36,000 (tournament score, not winnings)

Jessica got one C, two D’s and two O’s out of her letters. Why Pat Sajak thought that wasn’t a lot of help is quite a mystery. Those were
_ O M _ G R _ A _ _ _ L _ C _ I O N _
Jessica picked up $36,000 to go with the $12,831 from the main game.

Tue 3-5-19 $15,850
On Jeopardy: $1,000,000 (tournament grand prize)

Dorothy added one G, one D and one O to her puzzle. Respectable indeed, but this was a tough one, especially because of that first word. Sometimes,
_ H A _’ _ J U _ _ H _ _ I _ G _ E _
Dorothy missed out on a Ford Edge SUV.

Wed 3-6-19 $15,850
On Jeopardy: $6,000

Amanda got two A’s out of her choices, and that was that. Both of them went into the first word which left her with nothing but the last letter of the second word to go on.
T _ _ M A _ _ _ H _ I _ E S
and not enough time made that an impossibility. The lost prize was $36,000.

Thu 3-7-19 $22,600
On Jeopardy: $31,601
Neda’s letter choices yielded two H’s and one I but Neda couldn’t find
A S _ A R _ _ N _ P O _ N _
to sound it out after those letters were filled in. It ended up with another $36,000 loss.

Fri 3-8-19 $17,150
On Jeopardy: $9,600

Nate got 4 O’s, 2 H’s and one C out of his letters. It totally filled in the second word. The third word, unfortunately,
T R _ _ _ E _ H _ M U _
when he tried to sound it out as a long vowel so the week ended with another bonus round loss. Only this time, it was $45,000.
