Wheel of Fortune gives away a home at Latitude Margaritaville

Contests, Television, Movies, & Radio 1 Comment

From Yahoo Entertainment: “Woman makes history winning insane prize on ‘Wheel of Fortune’“

It was a historic night on Wheel of Fortune Tuesday night, when Laura Trammell, a sixth grade teacher from Mission Viejo, became the first person ever to win a house during the bonus round during Wheel of Fortune’s “Home Sweet Home” giveaway, which is happening every night this week in partnership with Minto and Latitude Margaritaville.

Heading into the bonus round, Trammell had already won $23,690 including a trip to St. Thomas for a tropical island getaway. However, after solving the bonus round puzzle with the phrase “I caught a glimpse,” Trammell caught a glimpse of her future life of sipping margaritas, when she found out she had landed on the home envelope during her spin, which won her a new crib valued at $375,000 in Margaritaville.

“This is just nuts,” said host Pat Sajak. Trammell, who was initially speechless, later told Sajak, “I am beyond excited, I’m still in shock. I still can’t believe it just happened.” Meanwhile, viewers on social media were also speechless and shocked about Trammell’s historic win, and many took to Twitter to congratulate her:

Ultimately, Trammell walked away with $398,690 in cash and prizes, and Vanna White walked away with her eye intact, as Sajak explained, “First thing, I have to tell you that, when you won, Vanna was running across the stage, and the confetti came out, and you got whacked in the head by a clump of confetti!”

“Thank goodness, it wasn’t my eye,” White replied to Sajak, who exclaimed, “You could’ve put your eye out!”

Shark Week took place last week on the Discovery Channel and is now over, but fans can still keep that exploratory spirit alive. That’s because LandShark Lager, the island-style brew, wants to give people a real-life shark experience and a wonderful tropical vacation all in one.

Right now, LandShark is offering up an all inclusive trip to Margaritaville Resort in Hollywood, Florida. The grand prize package includes two days with all expenses paid at the Jimmy Buffet-themed resort as well as a real shark dive.

Yep, you heard that right — with the Landshark Shark Dive Getaway Sweepstakes, you can swim with actual sharks and not just admire them through your TV screen.

That’s not all. LandShark will also fly the winners (six total; each can bring along a friend) out and put them up in a VIP suite. The company says this trip is tailor-made for adrenaline junkies, sun chasers, and shark aficionados alike.

Entering is as easy as opening up a cold LandShark Lager. All you have to do to enter is text SHARK to 78896 for your very own chance to win. The sweepstakes is open to fans who are 21 and over (naturally, because it is a beer brand-sponsored event). You have until August 24 to enter and the trip takes place September 12-14. You can also visit the Landshark web page and fill in your information here.
