In a shocking turn of events, an unexpected contestant guess during a live episode of “Wheel of Fortune” left fans gasping in disbelief. Viewers were on the edge of their seats as the seemingly impossible answer was revealed, sending shockwaves through the audience and igniting a frenzy on social medi
‘Wheel of Fortune’ fans shocked by blazing quick puzzle solve: ‘Is this sorcery?’
Wheel of Fortune contestant Mark Franco was in a winning mood Thursday night. The avid outdoorsman from Brentwood, Calif., impressed everyone with a very quick puzzle solve.
Early on in the game, Mark found himself apologizing for winning a puzzle which a previous contestant had missed on a technicality. Host Pat Sajak told him, “That’s all right, never apologize for winning.”
Maybe Mark had something to prove to Pat or the audience, but soon after that he nailed a Triple Toss Up puzzle. At almost the same time that the first letter popped up on the board, Mark hit his buzzer.
The puzzle read “_ ‘ _ – _ _ _ _ _ G – _ – _ _ _ _”. And within a second of it appearing Mark answered, “I’M HAVING A BALL.”
Mark surprised both Pat and fans at home. Many viewers took to Twitter to voice their shock and dismay.

While Mark had a good game, it wasn’t good enough to advance to the bonus round. But he did end up taking home a $7,000 trip to London, and $2,000 in folding money.
