A contestant on the beloved game show Wheel of Fortune came incredibly close to winning $1 million, but ultimately lost after he was off by three letters.
An adorable grandpa named Frank, assisted by his granddaughter Laurel, was a contestant on a special episode of the show, which taped at Disney World last month, and aired Wednesday evening. During the final puzzle, Frank had a pretty good chance going in, with five letters on the board, he needed to guess the rest of the letters and solve the puzzle with 10 seconds on the clock.
Given the category was "Food and Drink," Frank knew that the second word was likely zucchini, but the first word tied him up. Frank guessed "fried zucchini" but unfortunately, the answer was "baked zucchini."
The worst part was when host Pat Sajak revealed the prize Frank could have won, which was the rare $1 million prize.
It's OK, Frank. As one Twitter user pointed out, who bakes zucchini anyway?
At least the family still got to take home over $26,000.
