“Wheel of Fortune” just awarded the biggest cash prize in the history of the show.
Connecticut woman Christina Derevjanik won a whopping $1,035,155 during the Tuesday, Sept. 30, episode of ‘Wheel of Fortune.” Sweetening the deal, her boss was sitting in the audience.
Before host Ryan Seacrest showed Derevjanik the $1 million envelope, she joked that she would put in her two weeks notice at work if she won the seven-figure prize.
“And then [I’ll] hopefully invest in a home in the next couple of years.”Derevjanik is one of only four contestants to win the $1 million prize on “Wheel of Fortune” since the show premiered in 1975.
Prior to solving the $1 million clue, she also racked up $35,155 and trips to Montana and Tokyo.
