A Wheel of Fortune contestant narrowly missed out on winning a brand-new Mercedes-Benz during the Bonus Round after failing to solve a tricky puzzle. Although she came close, time ran out before she could complete the answer, leaving both her and viewers groaning at the near win.
Despite the disappointment, she didn’t leave empty-handed. The contestant still took home over $21,000 in cash and a luxury vacation, and fans later debated online whether the puzzle was unfairly difficult or simply bad luck.
