Bill Fields (returning with a 1-day total of $17,539)

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $750. 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!

We have a lot further to go. With a $2,000 space and a $6,000 Jackpot, things could change!
DING DING! DING DING!
As if we needed that. Now that time is short, Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $2,000 a piece. That's more like it!
