I am made as hell! I have had it with the gimmicks that are used to lure viewers. I have been watching Wheel of Fortune for years. In 2005, I went online to secure a member ID number. During the 25th anniversary programming a few months ago I saw my number come up as the winner of $25,000. When I went online to the wheel of fortune site I had a hard time distingusing the proper link to register for my prize. As luck would have-it the link I opened directed me to fill out a form that turned out to be the form used for new members. I have sent numerous emails to wheel of fortune regarding this matter only to receive some rhetorical mumbo-jumbo. I asked that they check their 2005 database to locate my original member ID…but have not received any response. I was amazed to see how few prizes were actually awarded during the anniversary specials.
