A college student was correctly able to guess all the letters in a puzzle on the the Wheel of Fortune and would have won $1 million had it not been for his own Achilles heel – not being able to pronounce the answer correctly.
Julian Batt, a freshman at Indiana University was given more than one opportunity to win large prizes including a one million dollar prize, and even a car, but he kept flouting his fatal flaws.
At one point, an excited Batt guessed the all letters to the answer ‘The Mythological Hero Achilles’ but instead of pronouncing it the proper way he said ‘A-chill-us.’
He would have won $1 million had he simply pronounced the answer correctly. Unluckily for him the incorrect answer rolled off of his tongue and the money slipped away from his grasp, reports The Daily Dot.
Later on in the game, when Batt had the opportunity to win a car, all he had to do was guess the M and the N in the phrase ‘The World’s Fastest Man.’ Yet again, he failed.
Then he had an opportunity to solve a puzzle once more. Instead of stating the correct answer as ‘on the spot decision’ he said it was ‘on the spot dicespin’!
Even though Julian may not be the brightest of all Wheel of Fortune players, he still managed to win with the most points during his episode of the game show.
According to Indiana University’s newspaper, Julian has dreamed of going on the game show for a long time.
