Sarah Manchester will take home about USD 1,017,500 and a trip to the Dominican Republic after winning the game show, which aired yesterday night after filming in May.
Manchester says she's "soaking in every minute" of the win. Manchester is a math teacher and math team coach at Takoma Park Middle School, which she attended.
WJLA-TV reports that Manchester is only the third "Wheel of Fortune" contestant to win the USD 1 million prize. The first came in 2008 after the award was first offered, and the second was in May 2013.
