This is the 22nd-Anniversary State Challenge, on Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!

We welcome three contestants from Queensland for Heat 1, and each contestant plays for their own home viewer!

Somebody could also win a new Renault Clio Expression!

Home viewers can also share from a total of $150,000 in cash just for watching!

Today's contestants:
Carolyn Edwards
Teena Bell
Angus Thompson

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and we begin Round 1:
