One lucky Wheel of Fortune contestant couldn’t believe his good fortune when he reached the Bonus Round and was given a puzzle so easy, he had to hold back from answering too soon.
Rich Rinaldi, a contestant from Narberth, Pennsylvania, went head-to-head with Cherie Mohr from Henderson, Nevada, and Unnecia Gathright from Bolingbrook, Illinois, on a recent episode of the popular game show. Not only did he come out on top, but he also walked away with a major cash prize and a dream vacation.
Rinaldi wasted no time making his mark on the game, correctly solving both the first and second toss-up puzzles—”Cracking Open A Coconut” and “Put Down The Phone”—earning him a quick $3,000. However, luck wasn’t entirely on his side at first. When he finally got his chance to spin the wheel, he landed on “Lose a Turn”, giving his competitors a shot at the board.
