Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!

Happy Easter and Good Friday, everybody!

Today's contestants:
Toby Karatson
Lisa Nolan (returning with $41,614 in prizes!)
Rochelle Jeffries

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.

Don't think of turning around right now, Rochelle! You need to pick a Toyota sewing machine, a Tissot watch, or a Roger David $400 men's clothing voucher!

Rochelle starts with the men's clothing.

Here's a Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?

CLUE

Perfection! Lisa solves THE DAY WE EAT HOT CROSS BUNS. Have some more! 200 more to be exact if she can answer the clue.

She says "Easter Saturday", which we cannot accept. The day is Good Friday.

But still, have some more! Another prize, that is. Lisa may add an Ug gas heater, a Magellan GPS, or an Oz Trail camping package to her pile.

Lisa takes the camping pack.

Lisa: W (DUD!)
Rochelle: B (595)

Rochelle ends with a blinds voucher.

The consolation prizes are a Cobb & Co. Napoleon wooden clock and Parker Pens.

BONUS ROUND:

Can Lisa do some more damage? She could take another car, or maybe it will be one of these prizes:
Massage chair
Whitsunday Island cruise
Prouds jewellery collection ($4,000)
Mount Buffalo Chalet holiday ($4,500)
Proton Satria GTI ($27,690)
And so we raise the Jackpot to $2,100 again.

With 4,685, Lisa receives "only" four consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

Prouds jewellery collection

Keep these puzzles coming!

Bonus Puzzle

PHRASE

Can she solve this one with just TRNS, and E?

PHRASE

She says NO TIME, but she thinks the third word is GIVE and does not solve NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT. Well, Lisa still has $42,521 in prizes and returns next week.
