Local Woman Strikes Gold on Wheel of Fortune
Miramar, FL – A local woman, Marie-Eve Augier, made a splash on “Wheel of Fortune,” dazzling viewers with a stunning Bonus Round win. Augier, wife of a local trivia buff, went head-to-head with contestants from Maine and Tennessee.
Augier took an early lead, solving the first puzzle. Though briefly overtaken by another contestant, Tania Bachelder, who won $4,750 in prizes during the Mystery Round, Augier quickly regained momentum. She solved a series of puzzles, including one that earned her a trip to the Salem Waterfront Hotel & Suites, ultimately entering the Bonus Round with $20,450 in cash and prizes.
With the category “What are you doing?” and the letters “R, S, T, L, N, E” already displayed, Augier chose “C, H, P, and O.”
Her savvy choices quickly revealed the puzzle: “POS_N_ _OR _ P_C.” With the clock ticking, Augier correctly solved the puzzle, “Posing For A Pic,” earning a whopping $40,000 bonus.
Augier’s friends, Rochelle and Farrah, who joined her onstage, erupted in celebration. The impressive win brought Augier’s total to $60,450 and the Salem trip.
Viewers at home shared the excitement, praising her smart letter choices and quick solve on social media. One commenter even remarked on the difficulty of the abbreviated word, impressed by Augier’s ability to crack the code.
