Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A $21,000 diamond and sapphire bracelet!
An $11,000 ski boat!
A $27,000 Cadillac!
Over $122,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
MaryLou Cerullo: Part of a huge family, from Hazleton, PA
Lee Bishop: Salesman of production equipment for auto car companies, from Mentor, OH
Greg Lee: Police detective for 3 years in Bell Gardens, CA
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or you will lose all your cash, but once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep. Here's our first puzzle!
Lee solves HEART-WARMING STORY.
We're feeling good right now, so we hope you can win a prize. We have a Van Cleef & Arpels gift certificate featuring man's 18-karat double-framed gold ring with diamonds (labeled RING) worth $2,400.
MaryLou solves IT COULDN'T HAPPEN TO A NICER PERSON to keep the ring.
The Wheel wasn't nice to Greg in that last round, but maybe it will go better with our $5,000 space ready.
Lee solves DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR.
Too bad for Lee, as that's all we can play.
