‘Wheel of Fortune’: Librarian Loses $57,000 After Ryan Seacrest’s Big Confession

On January 2, Joanna Fabicon, contestant on Wheel of Fortune, missed out on a $57K Bonus Round prize after failing to solve the puzzle.
After receiving R, S, T, L, N, E, Fabicon picked D, H, M, and O for the Event Bonus Round, leaving the puzzle O_TDOOR ___, solving Outdoor but not the second word.
Fabicon accumulated winnings by solving the Prize Puzzle Thousands of Islands, earning a trip to Greece and $13,108 during the main game.
With her mom and two best friends watching, Fabicon left as the night's winner with $17,108 but lost an additional $40,000 by missing the Bonus Round.
Fabicon reacted emotionally onstage, saying `Noooo` after the missed solve, while host Ryan Seacrest told her `They don't trust you` and Stephens solved multiple puzzles.
