Bold and the Beautiful star
Jack Wagner (Nick) was the big winner during
Wheel of Fortune's
Soap Stars Week. Solving
Vanna's puzzles like a pro, he scored $142,550 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in honor of his brother,
Dennis, who is currently in remission with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. In so doing, Wagner not only did a really good deed, he won the most cash any celebrity contestant has
ever won on
Wheel. Nice going, Jack!
"I was fortunate to be involved in this unique and magical moment on
Wheel of Fortune," Wagner told TVGuide.com via e-mail. "I hope and pray that my brother can be an inspiration to families and patients who suffer from this illness."
Last week's second-biggest winner was
Days of our Lives diva
Deidre Hall. The artist also known as Dr. Marlena Evans snagged $73,285 for the Mariposa Middle School in Northern California. Fortunately, even those players who couldn't buy a clue, much less a vowel — I'm too nice to name names — received a minimum of $10,000 for their chosen charities.
