definitely not. my guess is either What's My Line? 1950-1967 or To Tell The Truth 1956-.
The 64,000 question was from the fifties 1955-1958 and it was still not the first and some like that one were called quiz shows and not Game Shows
I've got a Secret 1952 was one of the first that lasted along with What's my Line 1950.
I looked some up in Wikipedia for original series dates and included them after the show's name

Wheel Of Fortune
The Wheel of Fortune game show broadcast on Syndicated TV is. An on line gaming site that you are paying to play is another matter. Every contestant on the Wheel of Fortune Game show leaves the show with the $1000 minimum, although most of the 600 yearly contestants leave with more.
The show was created by Merv Griffin who also created the game show Jeopardy
The Game show network shows previous episodes of the wheel of fortune show from earlier in the shows history that were not erased as were most of the early daytime shows. They never show the current program year's episodes
The first Wheel of Fortune puzzle was on a pilot called Shoppers Bazaar now owned by GSN. None of the puzzles from the show are available and the related link describes the pilot that is nothing like the current Wheel of Fortune.
