Wheel of Fortune Hit It Rich! Giveaway: How to Enter for a Chance to Win Up to $20,000 Cash
Wheel of Fortune is giving viewers the chance to win cash prizes of up to $20,000 each with its new Hit It Rich! Giveaway, taking place during the week of October 19–23, 2026.
The promotion features five individual sweepstakes tied to five episodes of the popular game show. Each episode will feature a progressive cash jackpot that starts at $3,000 and increases as contestants spin the wheel.
Five viewers will each win the final jackpot amount from one of the episodes, with up to $100,040 in total prizes available across the entire promotion, including an additional merchandise prize.
The giveaway is open to eligible Wheel Watchers Club members in the United States and Canada, excluding Quebec. No purchase is necessary.
What Is the Wheel of Fortune Hit It Rich! Giveaway?
The Hit It Rich! Giveaway is a special Wheel of Fortune promotion running alongside five new episodes airing Monday, October 19, through Friday, October 23, 2026.
During each episode, a progressive jackpot will increase based on the wedges contestants land on during the first three spinning rounds.
The jackpot begins at $3,000 and can grow to a maximum of $20,000. An on-screen ticker will periodically display the current amount, allowing viewers to follow the potential cash prize throughout the episode.
At the end of each show, the final jackpot amount becomes the cash prize for that episode’s individual sweepstakes.
One eligible viewer will be selected to receive that amount, regardless of whether the contestant solves the Bonus Round puzzle.
How to Enter the Hit It Rich! Giveaway
Entering the Hit It Rich! Giveaway is free, and viewers do not need to solve a puzzle or provide a Bonus Round answer.
To participate, eligible viewers must visit the official Wheel of Fortune giveaway website and sign in to their Wheel Watchers Club account.
Those who are not members can register for free by providing the required personal information.
Once signed in, entrants can access the Hit It Rich! Giveaway entry page and select the corresponding episode or episodes they wish to enter using the available checkboxes.
Each episode represents a separate sweepstakes, giving viewers five opportunities to enter during the promotional period.
Participants may submit one entry per person and email address for each individual sweepstakes, for a maximum of five entries across the promotion.
How Does the Hit It Rich! Progressive Jackpot Work?
The giveaway introduces a progressive jackpot that changes throughout each episode based on contestants’ spins during the first three spinning rounds.
Each daily jackpot begins at $3,000, with additional money added according to the wedges selected.
Special wedges can produce fixed jackpot increases:
- Wild Card: Adds $500.
- Hit It Rich! token: Adds $500.
- Express wedge: Adds $1,000.
- My$tery wedge: Adds $1,000.
Regular cash wedges also increase the jackpot according to their displayed values.
However, landing on Bankrupt, Lose a Turn, the $1 Million wedge or another non-cash wedge does not increase or decrease the jackpot.
The amount added is not affected by whether the contestant guesses a letter correctly.
The jackpot continues growing throughout the eligible rounds until reaching its maximum of $20,000.
How Much Money Can Viewers Win?
Five individual cash prizes will be awarded, with one winner selected for each of the five episodes.
Each winner receives the final progressive jackpot amount displayed at the end of their corresponding episode.
| Prize | Value |
|---|---|
| Daily starting jackpot | $3,000 |
| Maximum daily jackpot | $20,000 |
| Number of cash prize winners | 5 |
| Maximum combined cash prizes | $100,000 |
| Additional merchandise prize | $40 |
| Maximum total prize value | $100,040 |
All cash prizes will be awarded by check in the winner’s name.
The actual amount won will depend on how the jackpot progresses during each episode. The $20,000 figure is the maximum possible prize for each individual drawing, not a guaranteed payout.
