* Week of February 6, 1996: A team hands in the Double Play token (only used for that season) and hits the $10,000 prize, which is one-third the width of normal wedges. Normally, the token didn't have any effect on prize wedges, only dollar amounts. However, it ''did'' apply for the $10,000 despite being a prize. It would be worth $20,000 if won, which it was. Sadly, no video of this moment exists online, though there are a number of recollections of it on an old game show forum. On their second episode that week, they used the token again and hit $1,500 for $3,000 per letter. The team went on to become the biggest winners in ''Wheel'' history with $146,529, a record that stood until the first million-dollar winner.

* April 8, 2020: Dave Andrade nearly sweeps the entire game (the only puzzle that he didn’t solve was the 2nd puzzle in the Triple Tossup), winning the $10,000 mystery wedge and a trip to Barbados. It doesn’t stop here. He calls a double on the $5,000 wedge in the fourth round, solving for $11,700. Then he solves another one to lead into the season’s second six-round game AND a $6,000 Final Spin. He solves that puzzle for $24,000, making him the 3rd highest main game winner of all time at $71,890. He then totally aces the bonus round for a brand new BMW and a final total of $113,055! Yep, that’s a case of achieving six-figures the hard way.
