This year’s Secret Santa giveaway promises to be the biggest ever. From Nov. 28 through Dec. 9, every in-studio contestant will become a “Secret Santa” to an at-home viewer. During that time, if the viewer has a Wheel Watchers Club SPIN ID number, he or she will be eligible to win the exact same prizes won by an in-studio contestant, including cars, cash, luxury vacations and a Sears shopping spree.

At the end of regular game play, when the totals for the 2^nd and 3^rd place contestants are announced, the SPIN ID numbers of the Wheel Watchers Club members they were playing for will be revealed. Those two Wheel Watchers Club members win whatever those contestants won. One lucky Wheel Watchers Club member, whose SPIN ID number is revealed after the Bonus Round, will win whatever the big winner won.

Wheel Watchers Club members whose SPIN ID numbers are revealed will then log on to www.wheeloffortune.com within 24 hours of the broadcast to claim their prizes.  

To be eligible to win in the “Wheel of Fortune Sears Secret Santa Sweepstakes,” viewers will have to join the show’s loyalty program, the Wheel Watchers Club and obtain a SPIN ID number by November 15.   Each member is automatically assigned a unique, alpha-numeric SPIN ID Number.  It’s free and easy to become a Wheel Watchers Club member at www.wheeloffortune.com.

This season’s partnership marks the eighth consecutive year of promotional collaboration between Sears and Wheel of Fortune.  Sears branding will be prominent throughout the two weeks of the Secret Santa-themed shows.
