Every Single $1 Million Puzzle on Wheel of Fortune (PHOTOS)

Only 14 Wheel of Fortune And Celebrity Wheel of Fortune Since the huge prize was introduced in 2008, players have had the chance to win the $1 million jackpot. Even fewer were won, as only four people (including one celebrity, Melissa Joan Hart) became millionaires.

Pat Sajak and Vanna White competed for $1 million in their first 12 attempts (one of which featured two players), and new host Ryan Seacrest was surprised to see a player eligible for the jackpot on the first day of his second attempt came week as host. Big money is intentionally difficult to win. To be eligible, a player must land on the “ONE MILLION” wedge, name a correct letter, and then win that round without first going bankrupt.

They then have to win the game overall and get into the bonus round. The $100,000 envelope is then replaced with the $1 million envelope on the bonus wheel, and the player must land on this envelope after spinning the miniature wheel. Finally, and most obviously, the contestant must correctly solve the final puzzle before time runs out.

Amazingly, the jackpot was won the first time it ever came into play, but the episodes were at least a year apart. The first win occurred in October 2008, just a month after the grand prize was introduced. The next win didn't come until 2013, followed by another in 2014. Hart would become the next million dollar winner in 2021. Another fun fact: every single winner was a woman!
