Big Money

I don't watch a lot of Wheel of Fortune. It irks me how the players always say big money big money, because they can't win that much. It seems that the Wheel hasn't changed with the times. Granted, I'm not one for baseball cards, but for some reason I was looking in wikipedia at the Wheel of Fortune stats:

All time winnings, team
(returning champions format)
Peter Argyropolous and
Deborah Cohen
$146,529
February 1996
(two shows)

All time winnings, solo player
(returning champions format)
Mindi Mitola
$146,254
September 1990
(three shows)

One-day team winnings
Christine Denos and Jack Wagner
$142,550 February 28, 2006

One-day solo winnings
Becca Rhine
$128,177 February 7, 2007

I guess the money isn't so bad after all, if only I could do word puzzles.
