There was a Wheel of Fortune spin off called Wheel 2000 (see related Link) that allowed kids from 10 to 15 to be on the program. On the regular Wheel of Fortune I remember a Girl and her friend both won cars and yet were too young to be able to Drive. Contestants on Wheel of Fortune are not like the Contestants on Jeopardy where you are given the full name and age. On Wheel of Fortune that information is rarely given so it would be impossible to determine who the youngest or oldest players were unless it was released. Even the show might not have complete records of the over 16,000 past contestants of the nighttime Wheel of Fortune Syndicated TV Show. Records might not even exist for the 30,000 total contestants from the Daytime and Nighttime programs.
