It’s Veterans Week on Wheel of Fortune 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 11-6-17 Wheel: $72,400
On Jeopardy: $30,000

It seemed like Christina Belden had a darned good idea of what this was. If not, she sure picked the right letters to tell her. She didn’t get the $1 million in the wheel, but she won an extra $35,000, almost doubling her $39,200 from the main game.

Tue 11-7-17 Wheel: $51,864
On Jeopardy: $23,000

Eric Petry got a P and 3 A’s from his letter choices and it looked promising to Pat and us, but alas! Eric could not get a handle on it. Double alas! His card was packing $100,000.

Wed 11-8-17 Wheel: $16,800
On Jeopardy: $16,910

Jay Buoy got an M, a C and an O to add to the 2 letters already on the board. It just wasn’t enough for him to take a shot at sounding it out so the $35,000 on the card couldn’t go home with him.

Thu 11-9-17 Wheel: $28,229
On Jeopardy: $15,400

John Knopick got one C and one A out of his choices but it was just like yesterday– he couldn’t get a bead on it. And just like yesterday, he couldn’t take the $35,000 on the card home.

Fri 11-10-17 Wheel: $18,300
On Jeopardy: $29,000

Bill Swiniuch got one G and two O’s added to his puzzle before the clock started. That was just no help to him. Unbelievably, for the second time this week, the card was worth $100,000. You hardly ever see that once a week, nevermind twice in the same week. “Bummer with a capital B,” Pat Sajak said. It was indeed.
