A Connecticut marketing manager has spun her way into television history, becoming the biggest winner ever of more than $1 million on 'Wheel of Fortune' whilst her boss watched from the studio audience, and jokingly threatening to hand in her notice on live television.
Christina Derevjanik of Stamford on 30 September 2025, walked away with an extraordinary $1,035,155 (£775,000), marking the highest total ever awarded to a non-celebrity contestant in the show's 42-year history.
