It has taken over 40 years and 39 seasons, but for the first time in the history of Wheel of Fortune, two contestants have taken home the $100,000 grand prize on consecutive nights. “There’s always something new around here, isn’t there? That’s incredible,” said host Pat Sajak on Tuesday’s episode after contestant Mark Baer snagged the $100,000 bonus prize. This came just a day after contestant Lisa Kramer walked away with the $100,000 bonus, a rare feat on the long-running game show. Sajak alluded to the possibility of back-to-back $100k winners earlier in the show, telling the contestants, “On yesterday’s show, we gave $100,000 in the Bonus Round. I checked the rules. It can happen two days in a row. Nothing says you can’t do that.” Whoa, did that just happen?! A Wheel of Fortune first! A second $100,000 winner in a row! 2 Nights 2 Huge Wins! pic.twitter.com/i5MpUJggXC...
