Wheel of Fortune Player Cruelly Loses $40,000 Prize – TV – Entertainment

Contestant Brittany found herself guessing the correct answer to the puzzle – but after the buzzer, meaning she missed out on a $40,000 prize as a result.

In the bonus round, Brittany, who had already won $30,921 in regular play, guessed the letters G, C, P and P along with the given R, S, T, L, N and E for her puzzle.

After all the letters were on the board, it said _P_ _T_ NG _ _ S O_ T _ _ R E.

As the countdown continued, Brittany seemed confused before trying to see that his first word was “Exhilarating” before realizing the third word was “software” which she said as the buzzer sounded.

She then guessed the correct answer with “Updating my software” but was unable to get the prize money because she said it too late – albeit by a small margin.

And while Seacrest praised her for guessing right, he was forced to let her know it was too late, and most fans agreed, taking to the show’s Youtube clip about it to say it was unfortunate , but the show made the right call.

“It was razor thin, but ultimately not enough to secure a win. Heartbreaking loss, but $39,000 is nothing to sneeze at,” one fan wrote. “Plus, she got Donald Duck cheering her on, and who doesn’t love Donald Duck?”

“I hate that she was late with it, but even after the buzzer it was an excellent solution,” said another.

“Well, that was a little late. Congratulations, Brittany!” a third added.
