Woman wins 'Wheel of Fortune' with just one letter

After hosting ‘Wheel of Fortune’ for the last 27 years, Pat Sajak looked surprised as he watched a contestant solve the a 7 word puzzle with only 1 letter turned over.
One of the contestants on the show, Caitlin Burke aged 26, was able to stun the seasoned host using the single letter L. You can see the fantastic word solve in the video below this story.
When Burke then asked him if she could solve the puzzle Sajak looked bewildered and when she made her guess which proved to be correct he looked visibly stunned, along with the other contestants on the show.
Yes, with just one letter on the board, she solved the puzzle. The phrase? "I've got a good feeling about this." Burke, a lifelong fan of the show said ‘I do this all the time when I'm at home. I call it before there are any letters, or only a few, and half the time I'm right."
It took Pat Sajak a few moments to gather his thoughts and then he said. “wait a minute this has got to be the most amazing solve we have ever had…”
Burke later told reporters that she came from a really competitive family and said that while she was attending high school her career goal had been to go on “Wheel of Fortune.” "Someone would say, 'I want to be a vet,'" Burke said. "I said, 'I want to go on Wheel of Fortune.'"

So…Practice does make perfect…plus in Caitlin’s case it helps you win some great cash and prizes.
