This involved a special giveaway for Days of Our Lives fans that was revealed by Sajak in a very soapy fashion. In a promo video, Pat Sajak’s daughter channels her inner soap star for the announcement as she walks into the Brady pub with an agenda.

“It is I, Maggie Sajak, bringing you the Salem Sweepstakes!” she whirled around and said to the camera, as Days of Our Lives stars gasped in shock.
Sajak went on to share a special giveaway, noting, “I’m offering Wheel Watchers a chance to win a trip to Los Angeles to experience a behind-the-scenes look at Days of Our Lives, including a special VIP Tour, autographed memorabilia, and meet and greets with some of Salem’s favorite heroes and villains.”
There was a very dramatic soap exchange between Sajak and Robert Scott Wilson (Alex), who declared, “You wouldn’t,” as she noted, “Oh, yes, I would,” before ending her announcement with “The ultimate Days of Our Lives fantastic experience.”
Mary Beth Evans (Kayla) chimed in to express “And a happy 60th anniversary toast.”
Other Days of Our Lives cast members who participated in the big announcement included Galen Gering (Rafe), Carson Boatman (Johnny), Daniel Feuerriegel (EJ), Cherie Jimenez (Gabi), and Tyler Joseph Andrews (Theo).
