Wow, who knew my trading that episode to one person would result in this? Very cool.

So you would know, Snowpeck: Can you confirm that (a) it was landed on, (b) it counted as "sendable cash", and (c) it was hit for a multiple-occurance letter?

It was not. So I have no idea how they would have handled it. Pat mentioned that the producers were very thankful that nobody landed on it LOL.

I was very surprise when I see $10,000 back side and play as a spendable cash. Pat did mention about what just happen before round 3 start.
Do you think it might happen again with a million dollars wedge?

We have a $2500 space on the wheel for round two, but it's not the top value - it's four times as much! 
If the multiplying rule applied to this, this would be the only time in Wheel history where the default top value for a round was more than in the following round. I'm sure you would agree with that, would you not? I think that's something we'd have to put up the Myths and Misconceptions at the WOF History Wikia.

If I'm not mistaken, it DID function like a standard wedge in this one instance, and someone DID land on it for at least one letter.

Well what if he chose that one letter that would occur three times? That's what I'm trying to say. There was one letter that had yet to be called of which there were three occurrences. Would it be flat rate since it's so big of a value, or would it be a large sum of 30 G's?

In that particular case, it would be $30,000. From what I recall, it was hit for 2 occurances of a letter, so the player earned $20,000. Wish it was posted to YouTube somewhere. (It might be, for all I know...)

If I was a WoF contestant, I'd want the ten grand to be standalone (that is, each letter is worth that amount).
