Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:

A $12,000 summer travel boutique!
A bright red pickup truck!
A $7,600 compact car!

Over $52,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Dianna Cook: Part-time food demonstrator at markets
Joseph Goldstein (returning with a 1-day total of $1,250)
Tev Markatoni (female): Cruise director on a leave of absence, and her first name came from a license plate; from San Diego, CA

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!
