Throughout July and August 2026, La Ruota della Fortuna maintained its dominance in Italian primetime, consistently averaging 3.5 million viewers. The show’s momentum was bolstered by a high-profile 7 August special celebrating host Gerry Scotti’s 70th birthday, which drew 4,106,000 viewers. Following the special, the program saw continued contestant success. On 13 August, Simone from Segrate was crowned champion. On 20 August, pastry chef Maikol from Villafranca Padovana won over 16,000 euros during a ‘Lemons’-themed ‘Ruota delle Meraviglie’ round. At the end of August, entrepreneur Giulia from Urbino emerged as a new champion, winning 42,300 euros. She succeeded Fabio from Milan, who had accumulated over 90,200 euros.
