Matt DeSanto, an operations manager from Pennsylvania, even managed to guess a three-word conundrum with just one letter on the board. Seconds after Vanna White revealed an 'E' to players, DeSanto. Pat Sajak has seen a number of remarkable contestants in his three decades with Wheel of Fortune, but 35-year-old operations manager Matt DeSanto put on a performance during Friday's episode that left the host speechless.
Here was the clue and what he had to work with ..
Lottery north carolina pick 4. Exactly. Pretty hard to guess it without more help.
Unless you're Matt. With nothing more than an 'E' on the board, and knowing only that it was a 'Character,' DeSanto somehow came up with the answer:
'The Lone Ranger!' Obviously. Why didn't we think of that.
Asked how he did it, the Malvern, Pa., resident said luck.
'The wheel definitely worked in my favor,' DeSanto said.
'I was extremely fortunate.'
It couldn't have been all luck, as the father of two ended up solving every other puzzle during the main game, earning a record $91,892 for the main game!
It was the show's first sweep since 2011, and DeSanto became the first to top $70,000 before the bonus round, which is ironically when his Fortune reversed.
He was unable to get the bonus round clue ('Wooden Gavel'), which limited his ultimate winnings and stumped him for the first time all episode.
'I was pretty exhausted [by the bonus round],' recalled DeSanto, who guessed 'gavel' but couldn't get the first word. 'I should have picked better letters.'
