This morning, a Maryland math teacher must feel like a million bucks — because that's exactly what Sarah Manchester won on "Wheel of Fortune" Wednesday night, becoming only the third person in history to take home the show's $1 million grand prize.

Manchester solved the show's winning puzzle, "Loud Laughter," during Wednesday night's episode. After learning she had solved the puzzle correctly, Pat Sajak peeked inside the envelope to see how much Manchester had won. "Can you use a million dollars?" he asked.

Manchester screamed with excitement at the news, jumping up and down with her family who joined her from the audience. Manchester's winnings totaled to $1,017,490.
