There are few programs on the Spanish television scene as recognized as La Ruleta de la Suerte. Part of the success of the Antena 3 format is due to the dynamism of its tests, but also to the great charisma of its presenter, Jorge Fernández. All the rules of the contest make it an agile adventure, but also fair, since they are always strictly respected. This Thursday, the program was experiencing a very special moment due to the ingenuity of one of the contestants.
Despite being one of the most watched programs on television, Lucky Wheel is not one of the formats that distributes the most money… for example, in Pasapalabra the figure is much higher when a contestant wins the jackpot. That is why when a contestant gets a good pinch in the Fernández contest, he always stands out, and more like on this occasion, which was in a very special way, since the contestant demonstrated great intelligence.
On this Thursday morning, the contest and its viewers saw one of the most intuitive contestants that has been on the program in its more than 22 broadcast seasons. The ‘Grand Finale’ track was ‘Christmas Three’. The panel was not too long, the first two words were relatively easy to see, but the third did not have any of the 7 letters revealed. That’s why David had to use his imagination.
Using his deduction, the young man thought of a Christmas dessert that would match the empty spaces. Knowing that the last word ended in N, he opted for ‘Marzipan’, a traditional sweet at our Christmas parties. “Christmas sweets, well, the one I was missing”; acknowledged David, who did not see it as difficult as the rest of the spectators of the contest.
After his success, the young man took 1,200 euros from the panels, 1,100 from the Christmas trunk and, in addition, for this last panel he won nothing more and nothing less than another 3,000 euros, so David ended his participation in the program very happy, with a total of 5,300 euros reward for their participation in the contest. Without a doubt, a not bad figure considering what is usually won in the program. The contestant was very happy and satisfied with his time in the format.
