Wheel of Fortune has awarded more than $171 million in cash and prizes to its contestants in its 24 years in syndication.

In the 2006–2007 season alone, more than $9 million in cash and prizes was awarded to contestants.

On September 11, 2006, Wheel of Fortune and its sister show Jeopardy! were the first syndicated shows to broadcast in High Definition.

Approximately 3,200 people try out each year, and fewer than 500 lucky Wheel Watchers are selected to appear on the show.

Wheel of Fortune receives more than 3,000 pieces of viewer mail per week. Remarkably, all letters receive a response.

The first letter Vanna ever turned on the Wheel of Fortune puzzleboard was a "T".
