The biggest 'Wheel of Fortune' winners ever

Leading off our list is Leanna McLaughlin, who won just under $70 grand on the show, not bad for the bottom of the list. The guess “I'll be in my dressing room” earned her $36,000 of that total winning.

As Dave Andrade’s 2020 appearance proved, folks are still winning buckets of cash on “Wheel of Fortune” every year. And that’s without counting the worth of the new car Andrade won during his run too.

According to TheThings, Sheri Bank earned $18,000 on the final puzzle in her 2015 appearance by guessing Brussels, Belgium, a place she could probably one day move with help from her winnings.

TheThings points out that DeSanto only had one letter to help him solve the final puzzle, but he nailed “The Lone Ranger” all the same.

Now we come to the millionaires, the rare bunch who have walked away from “Wheel” with nine more digits in their bank accounts. Sarah Manchester may sit at the bottom of that trio, but the Teacher’s Week winner couldn’t be more beloved.

The first ever “Wheel of Fortune” winner to nab a mill, Michelle Loewenstein shocked fans when she appeared on the show in 2008.

Autumn Ehard wasn’t the first to win a million bucks on “Wheel of Fortune,” since she appeared five years after Loewenstein, but she still holds the record for the most total winnings in a single game, a whopping $1.03 million and change.
