For Harper College student John Major, “Wheel of Fortune” is a family thing. He grew up watching it with his parents and his grandma, who claimed to have seen every single episode until she died.

Comments on: '“WHEEL of FORTUNE” 12/8/17' (12) ant0824 said: December 9, 2017 at 12:58 am. We just netted a BR win Week after 7 Day BR Skid. Wheel of Fortune Solutions and Spin I.D.s. For September 2017. Spin the wheel with America's Game®, Wheel of Fortune®, for the first time in full HD. Solve up to 4,000 unique puzzles as you compete against friends, family, and online players around the world to climb the global leaderboard.

It was fitting, then, that Major got the opportunity to head to Los Angeles and spin the legendary wheel himself.

In the end, Major was the big winner (watch the video) on the June 6 episode by advancing to the bonus round and solving this final puzzle despite having minimal clues:

_ _ GE

_ _ _ OR

The answer? 'HUGE FAVOR.' He came away with $46,000 in prize money.

“The whole thing was a blast, and Pat (Sajak) was awesome,” said Major, whose parents and girlfriend celebrated the victory with him on set. “I could hang out with that guy.”

The 34-year-old Palatine resident will wrap up an Associate in Applied Science degree in radiologic technology this summer. He’ll transfer to Southern Illinois University in the fall to continue his studies in magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography.

He had to miss some time from his clinical site for the show taping in April, so he’s grateful to his program leaders for their support and letting him make up the work.

The only slight disappointment in the entire experience? Major had the game’s Million Dollar Wedge in the bonus round, giving him a shot at winning $1 million had the wheel landed on that envelope.

“The million dollars obviously would have been amazing, but I’ve got zero complaints,” he said.

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.
