Wheel of Fortune Bonus Puzzle Tonight (Friday, Sept. 4, 2026): Answer, Winner and Winnings (Spoilers)
A mother-and-daughter team closed out Myrtle Beach Family Week the loud way. Sandy Graham and Deb Sutton took Food & Drink in the bonus round, asked for four letters, and had the puzzle almost before Vanna finished turning them.
Then the envelope opened on $45,000. That took their night to $71,000.
What was the Wheel of Fortune bonus puzzle tonight?
Category: Food & Drink. Answer: QUICK BITES.
Past the automatic R, S, T, L, N and E, the pair called B, D, C and I. The board came back as _ _ IC_ BITES, which is close to a gift, and they solved it.
Who won, and how much did they take home?
Graham and Sutton won the episode and the bonus round. Their $71,000 breaks down as $45,000 from the envelope plus $26,000 earned in the main game.
Two other family teams played, including sisters Samantha and Hannah. Neither reached the bonus round.
