The game show Wheel of Fortune has been around for decades — but fans still have a lot of questions about the popular game show! Scroll down to learn fun facts!

How do you win the million dollars on Wheel of Fortune?

To win a million dollars on Wheel of Fortune is extremely difficult! First, you have to hit the million dollar mark on the big wheel (a 1-in-72-chance). After that happens, you must then solve the word puzzle to go into the bonus show. Then, you must spin another wheel in hopes of hitting the million dollar mark! That one is a 1-in-24 chance.

Has anyone ever won the million dollars?

Yes! Three people. Michelle Lowenstein won in 2008, Autumn Erhard won in 2013, and Sarah Manchester won in 2014.
