Local Woman Wins Big on Wheel of Fortune, Solves ‘Impossible’ Puzzle
A Washington resident, Julie Allen, stunned viewers and host Ryan Seacrest with a remarkable Wheel of Fortune win, solving a seemingly impossible puzzle and driving away in a brand new Ford Bronco.
Allen dominated the initial rounds, racking up over $24,000 in cash and prizes, including an African safari. Her winning streak continued with a decisive victory in the Triple Toss-Up, adding another $4,000 to her total. Entering the bonus round with $23,590, Allen chose the category “What are you doing?”
With her friend Amy by her side, Allen spun the wheel and selected a golden envelope containing either $100,000 or a new Ford SUV. The puzzle, “_EING _ _ITE ITT“, seemed daunting even after Allen chose her letters and the standard letters were revealed. However, as the ten-second timer began, Allen confidently and instantly solved the puzzle: “BEING QUITE WITTY.”
A stunned Seacrest revealed Allen had won the Ford Bronco, bringing her total winnings to an impressive $67,350. Allen’s win sparked excitement online, with viewers praising her quick thinking and celebrating a much-needed bonus round victory for contestants. The win was a welcome relief for Seacrest as well, who narrowly avoided an accidental kick to the face from a celebratory contestant on a previous episode.
