I can't believe it happened that quickly either. :DThe $26,080 from the maingame was accumulated during Toss-Up 2, Round 1 (4 N's on 2500 space + prize puzzle: trip to Hawaii, about 18k total), and Round 2 ($5100 with major help from a couple of $800 spins).Skeptics believing it was too easy - yes, a prize puzzle always helps, but it was only $5200: the N's in the 1st round vaulted her ahead, and when $10k was amassed in the second round by another player, she couldn't finish off "SKYLINE". $7000 from 2 S's on the $3500 space was washed away by a Bankrupt by another player as well. Granted she wasn't dominant late, and never had any close calls...but in the end, it comes down to this:1/24 chance of landing on the $1mil slip in the Bonus Round. She barely made it to the W instead of the I, which could have just as well had 25k - that, no matter what you think the maingame has become, is ALL luck. She doesn't say A in the puzzle, she's doomed as well - CDMA is the most common, but we've seen CDMO and CDMI as well. And then other combos like PDHI/O would have gotten no help at all.Michelle's reaction on WOF's Contestant Blog: http://www.wheeloffortune.com/... party story: http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/st... - 10,000 views! Thanks everyone.10/20 - Another $1mil bonus round occured tonight. The puzzle was not solved, but she landed on the exact same letter - the W in WIN - which held $30k. The million was behind the I in WIN. So 3 out of 4 times, the million has been two spaces or lower away.11/17 - 30000+! Also, a near-$1mil win, sorta tonight, but it was still $100k!

cool, the first guy to win $100,000 picked those same letters in that order.

Just imagine if I was on this show and I was winning $1 Million in the bonus round. If I won the $1 Million, I would pass out!!! I'm really good at solving those puzzles, which is why I really wanna appear on this show, now that they added that Million Dollar wedge!

This was one of the best episodes of Wheel of Fortune ever. Michelle Lowenstein has had the luck all day to make it as far as she did & a very difficult one too. She seemed clam and collected but nervous & excited at the same time. I will admit to being more excited about this win than the Deal Or No Deal since since this one is so hard and the odds are so extreme. I don't think anyone would have anticipated it happening this early. Michelle's moment is for the record books and worthy of 5 stars

When you get that wedge, you have to solve the puzzle and go for the rest of the game without hitting bankrupt.

I don't think she got the $20s because that's part of the value in a trip that she also won.
