Two "Wheel of Fortune" contestants each had $24,000 in cash and prizes leading into the bonus round on Wednesday's show, the first tie on the popular program in over a decade.
Danielle Gilseth tied LaToya Williams by correctly guessing “HOLLANDAISE SAUCE” on the show's final puzzle.
So Williams and Gilseth had to go head-to-head in a rare, sudden death tie-breaker, which Williams took by correctly guessing “COMPUTER PROGRAMMER," bumping her up to $25,000.
Williams capped her historic (by game show standards) night by solving "POUR YOUR HEART OUT" in the bonus round, winning $100,000 more for a grand total of $125,000.
"I feel great," Williams said, but added. "I thought I was going to pass out."
