Grandpa's agonizing near-miss on 'Wheel of Fortune' costs him $1 million

It was hard enough for this grandfather when he realized he was only three letters short of solving the final puzzle on Wednesday night's episode of "Wheel of Fortune."



Then Pat Sajak flipped open the card to show that he would've won $1 million.

The grandpa, named Frank, nearly collapsed in his granddaughter Laurel's arms over what might have been. He took home $26,203 instead. Not a bad haul, but it isn't a two-comma check.

"Unbelievable," Frank muttered.

   One of my Girlfriends sent this to me, She watches this and Jeopardy almost religiously.  This crap proves once again that all Franks are Losers.   :tongue2:

I watched the show, and had the puzzle solved before the buzzer.

Pretty surprised when Pat opened the card and it was the million!

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
