They had a great celebration when Wheel of Fortune reached the 5,000 episode for the syndicated game show. At that time they announced that the show had given away almost 200 Million dollars. There have been 75 shows since that time and in just the last 5 they gave away another 300,000 dollars. Those figures do not include the Daytime Wheel of Fortune because they consider it a completely different show.
There is a delay and they are not given right away.
Over 200 million dollars and the number keeps growing so fast the site still has it listed at 190 million under the fun facts. The actual figure for the 5,000 episode on February 27 2009 was announced at over $200,000,000. The money is not considered to be given away and it is won by the contestants and awarded by Wheel of Fortune. The money given away is much less and is like the Maxwell House coffee donations to charity made for $2,500 when a contestant wins the bonus round.
The total amount continues to grow as more shows are aired. The question can only be answered if a time span is included The Producers of Wheel of Fortune announced that they have given away 190 million in prizes since the show began in 1983
