The feeling of winning a life-changing amount of money must be amazing, and that’s why so many people participate in game shows. But the excitement isn’t limited to the winners; remember how thrilled Ryan Seacrest appeared when he saw the first million-dollar winner on Wheel of Fortune? It was as if he had won the prize himself!
Last night, a Wheel of Fortune contestant defied all the odds and walked away with the biggest prize of one million dollars. If you don’t watch the show, but you follow Ryan Seacrest on Instagram, then you’d still know this happened, because his social media page is absolutely filled with it. There are no fewer than five different IG Stories about it, as well as the main post highlighting the moment.

I understand why he’s excited. I don’t normally watch Wheel of Fortune, but this is actually pretty interesting. I didn’t realize how difficult it was to win that prize. It’s amazing how many things need to happen just to get the chance to try and solve the puzzle for $1 million.
First, you need to land on a good spot on the wheel and guess a correct letter. Next, you have to solve the puzzle at hand. After that, you aim to be the overall winner. Then, a $1 million prize goes into the wheel for you to spin and select a mystery prize – so hitting the right spot is crucial again. Finally, you must solve the puzzle in the bonus round. Winning on Wheel of Fortune is quite an experience.
Here’s why Christina, the newest millionaire, is a remarkable winner: she’s only the 14th contestant to attempt the bonus round prize, and just the fifth in the show’s history to win $1 million. She’s also the first to achieve this since Ryan Seacrest became the host, taking over from Pat Sajak a little over a year ago. Seacrest had previously expressed his excitement about seeing someone win the million-dollar prize. Given how infrequent these wins are – this is only the fifth time in the 17 years the prize has been offered – Seacrest got his wish rather quickly after becoming host. It’s a truly historic moment, and a testament to Christina’s skill.
As a huge fan, it’s honestly hard to put into words how thrilled Ryan Seacrest gets when someone wins a seven-figure prize! The expression on his face in that split second – when *he* knows she’s won, but she hasn’t realized it yet – is just absolutely fantastic. You really have to see it to believe it. Check out the full video of the win below.
With so many projects happening all at once, it feels like Ryan Seacrest is always on television, but this particular moment is likely a major achievement in his career. He might not have even been this enthusiastic while crowning winners on American Idol.
