‘Wheel of Fortune’: Army Veteran Loses $60,000 as Ryan Seacrest Makes Confession

On December 8, Martia Brown, an Army veteran from Birmingham, Alabama, missed a $45,000 bonus envelope that would have raised her total to $60,798.
Brown advanced to the Bonus Round with $15,798 after winning a trip to Germany, and earlier she briefly held the One Million Dollar wedge but lost a turn to Clair Pilgreen, who solved a $4,000 puzzle.
After being given R, S, T, L, N and E, Brown chose C, D, M and A before the final reveal; the completed puzzle read `Power Walking` and Brown guessed `Over Talking` as the clock ran out, leaving the envelope unclaimed.
Ryan Seacrest commiserated and admitted `Over talking& I do that a lot.` following Brown's miss, while fans said they solved the puzzle in about 8 seconds and congratulated her.
Pilgreen, a cosmetologist and hairdresser, swept the Triple Toss-Ups to build a $10,000 gain and entered the main game with $14,000 in the bank.
