You may or may not be watching Wheel of Fortune right now since its currently in repeats. I mean, it's not as fun to watch these shows when you already know what the answers to the puzzles are. But, I digress. If you have been watching this top-rated syndicated game show over the last week or so, you'll know about the big thing that is coming up for the 2008-09 season. And, when I mean big thing I really mean one million big things.
Next season, Wheel will join the ranks of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Million Dollar Password, and Million Dollar Naked Concentration (copyright me...don't make me come after you) by offering a million dollar cash prize. It won't be a part of the regular game, though. According to the promotions it will be part of the Million Dollar Bonus Round. This jump to a seven-figure cash prize is the biggest for Wheel since going from $25,000 to $100,000 as the premium cash total.
So, if you are interested, go ahead and register to be a contestant right now at the official Wheel of Fortune site. Don't dawdle, because the 26th season of Wheel (35th overall since premiering on NBC) begins in September.

I've watched probably 50 or so episodes of Wheel of Fortune and I've never seen anyone win the big cash prize.

The $100,000 prize? I too have never seen anyone win, or spin for it. I have only seen the $50,000 once.
What drives me crazy is they still call $25,000 "big money" or "the money", it's the least amount of money you can win.

Sigh, I was *JUST* on Wheel of Fortune this past season, thus I am not allowed to try out for any future shows. Darn, I was one year too early. Ah well, I did well enough. ;-)
(My episode will re-air on July 23rd in case you're interested)
