During this 💰Big Money💰 week in honor of 8,000 episodes, there is a special JACKPOT wedge sponsored by BetMGM that starts at $8K and increases with each spin of the Wheel (except for the Final Spin). If a contestant solves the BR puzzle, they will win the Jackpot in addition to whatever’s in the BR envelope. There are also two DOUBLE JACKPOT wedges that also act as $1K spaces; if a contestant wins the BR with one of these in possession, the Jackpot amount that they win is doubled. Also, $5K is the top dollar value for Round 3 while $8K is the top dollar value for Rounds 4+.

These first contestants this week are ready to win some big money…

Charles Berger: aspiring public address announcer for high school football and basketball games (Jim Thornton is a big inspiration of his) from Thornwood, NY

Vickie Perilla: married to Ron with three kids (they’re all basketball fanatics) from Union City, CA

Valerie Martin: claims to be a big crybaby (every little sweet thing just makes her tear up) from Philadelphia, PA

---

FINAL SCORES
Valerie: $8K $ Charles: $18,960 cash & trip DJ WC $ Vickie: $11,150 DJ

FINAL JACKPOT AMOUNT: $21,600

GRAND TOTAL: $38,110
NO PENALTY SPINS!
