A Connecticut woman was on a roll during a Wheel of Fortune appearance Monday night.
In just a few minutes, Shannon Buganski landed on the $10,000 spot and two “½ Car” spots, winning a car and a trip to Italy. In the end, she cleaned up with $86,368 in cash prizes—one of the larger hauls in show history, a spokesperson told The Hartford Courant.
She told the newspaper she would be using the winnings to pay her bills.
