BryceLozier, I think WheelLover96 has a point. With a $5,000 space on the Wheel, I think the idea should be for at least some contestants to have an opportunity to win big, which can be done by using bigger puzzles in rounds with $5,000 on the Wheel. Anyway, the syndicated version started with a higher prize budget than the daytime show, and the budget went to record heights of more than $300,000 during the 1988 Radio City Music Hall episodes, so my question is: what happened that has been causing all these budget problems on the show?
