Another one for the history books! Wheel of Fortune‘s returning champion secured himself as one of the highest winners the game show has ever had. Although he did not win Wednesday’s game, one of his rivals, a retired Marine, took home more than $92,000 with a little help from one of his favorite TV shows.
The show’s all-time biggest winner is still Christina Derevjanik who won more than $1 million this season to became WOF’s highest winner ever.
