What percentage of people solve the final puzzle on Wheel of Fortune?

Q: Whats the most anyones ever won on Wheel of Fortune?

1. Autumn Erhard. Its a testament to how difficult Wheel of Fortune has made its million dollar prize that only three contestants in 14 years have been able to win it.

That percentage (29%) seemed low, until I realized that you were only deducting the value of the trip, and not also adding it to another player. Given that the trip HAS to be given away, someone else WILL get it. However, there is no guarantee which opponent would.
