The Wheel of Fortunefans are no strangers to heartbreak, but theshow’s recent bonus rounds are sparking something stronger than disappointment—suspicion. After a string of near-wins and increasingly obscure puzzles, longtime viewers are starting to wonder: is Wheel of Fortune rigging the game to cut down on big payouts? The May 9, 2025 episode was the last straw for many, when contestant Andrew Leachko came within one word of winning $1 million. His narrow loss follows a pattern that fans say is becoming too hard to ignore—impossibly tricky clues, repetitive low-dollar prizes, and barely any major wins. Now, the beloved bonus round isn’t just frustrating, it feels like a setup.
