Wheel of Fortune (1)

A show where people who have done good deeds were rewarded. This is not related to the show of the same name airing today.

The series involved rewarding everyday people who had done good deeds in their life by having their stories told on national TV, then allowing them to spin a prize wheel onstage and being awarded that prize. Occasionally, the lucky spin gave the good Samaritan a chance to win $1,000 by answering a trivia question.
