Million Dollar Winner to visit Black Orchid Resort!

From ‘Climbing Ancient Mayan Ruins’ to ‘Tough Workout’ and a Million Dollars! Autumn Lynelle Erhard will be doing just that when she arrives to Belize later this month!

Just before being the second Million Dollar Winner ever in the history of Wheel of Fortune, Autumn became the winner of our popular ‘Best of Both Worlds’ jungle and adventure package!

With the win last May, Erhard had to land on the one million dollar grand prize wedge during the show, solve that puzzle, make it to the Bonus Round without hitting bankrupt, spin the wheel and land on the million-dollar card and then solve the final puzzle in the Bonus Round.

But Autumn did all of that, making it to the final round. Even here, though, Autumn would have had a 1-in-24 chance at spinning the million dollar prize in the bonus round and would still have to solve the final puzzle, a feat that seemed nearly impossible when only 4 letters out of 12 were showing on the board. The theme was "Thing," and before most viewers could even think of a guess, Autumn was instantly solving the puzzle, which was "Tough Workout." 

The first person to win the big prize on Wheel was Michelle Lowenstein in 2008, during the first season the million dollars was introduced. This win seems like beautiful serendipity, though. Autumn is 30, was on Wheel on May 30 during the "Celebrating 30" week of the 30th season. Was it fate?

Follow Autumn and her Fiancé Joey as they climb ancient Mayan Ruins in Belize. Will it be better than a  ‘Tough Workout’?
