Wednesday's big winner on Wheel of Fortune is inspiring America.

Brenda Gallagher, an Air Force veteran (and "hometown comedian") from Las Vegas, laughed and shouted her way to $21,850 in winnings in the first rounds of the game.

That set her up for a bonus round that is generating a lot of buzz on social media.

As soon as she correctly guessed "My Happy Place" as the answer to the final puzzle, Gallagher let out a scream and dropped to the floor to kiss host Pat Sajak's shoe. When Sajak revealed she won an additional $34,000, Brenda did a victory lap, hugging her friends and family who ran down from the audience.

After another, larger victory lap, she looked at the camera and screamed "I love you Wheel of Fortune! Thank you!"

Her enthusiasm immediately won her a legion of fans on Twitter.
