Woman Beats Tough 'Wheel of Fortune' Odds, Wins Million Dollars 

That's Pat for ya these days. Been bored out of his mind ever since Charlie O'Donnell died in 2010.

Yea cuz he gets a less paycheck

Non-disclosure agreements. You may have to enter into an NDA between the time you play the show and the time the show airs.

Non disclosure agreements. Nobody is allowed to speak on an episode until it airs. If they do the show can sue for breach of contract

Hopefully, she asks for the sum after taxes so she isn't surprised

I thought I read somewhere that it was up to 37%...still ridiculous. Why do they take so much money?

milotickz thank you. every damn time someone wins something, jackass's are always the ones to remark on taxes. who gives a shit what is taken out, it's more money than they went there with.

I know, I actually just checked the comments to see if people were just going to go "LOL 0.5c after taxes". It's $674'679 tax free dollars, or what the average American earns in 25 years, except hers is tax free.

I can understand your feelings. These jokes can be very taxing on some people.

Taxes are no joke, they ruin the winning experience by showing us just how greedy the US government is!

Agreed

Maybe he was well aware what prize she had spun? In which case it would be quite anticlimactic.

lupe

And she has a husband and a daughter now!

She’s gonna be the new Vanna one day, and Emil De Leon will be the new Pat.

What also isn't fair is the taxes.

yup that the rule. I went on a game show once, you have to wait till it is air then you can talk about it. Who the hell would want to brag about it, i go in hiding

Kevin Nguyen That must be incredibly hard, though. I bet she had to pay off each family member she brought with her, just to keep them all quiet. I don't think anyone would blow it intentionally, but by reflex of being overly excited or something. And imagine what it's like during those 3 months. So she finishes her game, has to act like nothing happened and 3 months later, boom she's a millionaire. If you're overly excited, don't you think everyone will get the hint?

I don't know what type of family you have that you require a payoff rofl. If you even think about that something is wrong with you.

Kevin Nguyen I never said they'd do it intentionally. Learn to read.

I am not a mind reader jackass. how can i learn to read your thoughts? I must be a jedi knight mind reader or something. You clearly stated the statement, now you're trying to cover it up with your greedy soul.

That would greatly reduce the taxes.

believeyourself92 Possibly, at least one other contestant/team kept their $100,000 Card after winning it and that was autographed by Pat & Vanna.

*YES. You really want negative news forever?*

It's GMA...network morning shows tend to do lighter stories than their standard newscasts.

After taxes, she lost $1,030,340

dee plorable no i guessed it from the video

You would be an idiot to do that, the taxes would eat you alive, and you would be broke in just a few years.

He's 5'7'', which is taller than I thought since I'm only 5'5' and a half.
