There have been some excruciating near misses on Wheel of Fortune as of late, but one contestant made up for that on Wednesday night (March 20) by winning the $100,000 bonus prize. The contestant in question was Berto Borroto, a performer and drag queen from Minneapolis, Minnesota, who told host Pat Sajak that he’d come to California to escape the cold and hopefully get some cold hard cash. As part of Marvel Week, Borroto faced Pamela Davis from Sherman Oaks, California, and Melinda Smith from College Park, Maryland. He started slowly, trailing Smith after the first couple of rounds. However, he sprung into action in the Express Round, winning a Caribbean Cruise aboard the Marvel Day at Sea and boosting his total to $19,917. From that point forward, Borroto was unstoppable. He went on to win the episode with $21,917 cash and advance to the Bonus Round for a shot at the $100,000 grand prize.
