Game Show History

Pat Sajak and Vannah White just gave away the largest total in Wheel of Fortune's history - $1,026,080. The contestant won a wedge from the wheel which changes the $100,000 prize wedge on the bonus round wheel to a million. So, she had to get to the bonus round, pick the right wedge on the bonus round wheel (1 of 24), and solve the bonus puzzle. What are the overall odds? Not good. But somehow, some way, she pulled through. What a moment!

How long will it take them to make that money back?? How much money do they pull in every week?

It's prime time. So all those denture cream and diabetes medicine companies are paying Merv Griffin top dollar. I would guess they will make it back within a week.
