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.
