It seems as if Wheel of Fortune accidentally gave away the ending to its own show with a mid-episode editing blooper. And the game, which aired Friday, February 7, was poised to be an especially suspenseful one.

Even on "Wheel of Fortune," fans were left teary-eyed when a contestant revealed how his dyslexic son inspired him to compete on the show. Matt Popovits, who won $40,000 in the bonus round, credited his son for the success since the boy loved watching the show and wanted his dad to participate in it.

Wheel of Fortune sparked outrage amongst fans during the ABC game show's last episode when contestant Denise was 'ripped off' during the Mystery Round.

Only a fortunate few have won the $1 million-dollar top prize on TV's Wheel of Fortune. Since the stake was introduced in 2008, just four contestants have managed to win it, although 13 have had a shot. The most famous name to take home the big prize was Sabrina the Teenage Witch star Melissa Joan Hart on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune in 2021.
