Gabriele Casti, a professor from Selegas, is the champion of the Wheel of Fortune champions, winning €243,700. A record for the show hosted by Gerry Scotti.
For a few days now, Gabriele Casti's name has been synonymous with tenacity, intelligence, and a love of the Italian language. Champion since the November 5th episode, he has won over the audience and the trust of Gerry Scotti, who already sensed in the first round that he was dealing with a "special" contestant.
And the facts proved him right. In three evenings, Gabriele had amassed a record-breaking total prize pool—€187,000 and a Fiat Panda—and gradually won over the Wheel and the hearts of spectators.
The first big win came on Wednesday: €37,500. Then came Thursday's triumph, with a €124,500 haul, and on Friday's episode, another €25,000. But more than the money, what moved the audience was the final scene: Gabriele, upon discovering he had won €100,000 and the coveted car, burst into tears, taking refuge in the arms of his father, who was present in the studio for every episode.
Today the new hit, worth almost 34 thousand euros.
