A contestant on the popular game show âWheel of Fortuneâ failed to win a million-dollar prize by just three letters.
A contestant named Micki was just three letters away from taking home the million-dollar wedge as well as a trip to Croatia during an episode of the show Friday night, Fox News reported.
The puzzle read, âA ROARING FIRE IN THE FIRE _ _ A _ E.â
When asked for the letter she wanted to choose, Micki replied, âS.â
Host Pat Sajak responded, âYou got the reaction, no âS,â Iâm sorry.â
One user asked on Twitter the same night, âWheel of Fortune poll. Worse flub in recent memory. A) Fregh. B) Fireplace. Iâd go B since it changed the entire game.â
A user replied, saying, âThe fregh tropical fruit one also changed the game. It was a prize puzzle so she also missed out on a vacation.â
Another tweet stated, âGetting angry at Wheel of Fortune. Just another Friday night.â
Last month, another contestant made headlines after her failure to answer the puzzle correctly went viral.
âI donât think Iâve ever heard a single audience member audibly have such a violent reaction on Wheel of Fortune, as this lady did when a poor contestant called a G in âFresh,'â one user tweeted.
In case you missed it:
Sajak addressed the error during the show, saying, âYou know when that happens, and youâre sitting at home, youâre saying, âHow in the world?â but you know sometimes itâs a word that just doesnât want to come into focus for you.â
