Wheel of Fortune

Either:

1) A popular symbol representing the capricious nature of Fate. Of Greco-Roman origin, it was believed that the goddess Tyche/Fortuna would spin the Wheel of Fortune at random, granting some good fortune and others misfortune. The symbol persisted into the Middle Ages, namely with the Carmina Burana, a collection of 24 poems in Latin, Middle High German, and some French vernacular. In 1935-36, German composer Carl Orff set the poems to music as part of his cantata of the same name, which includes the famous "O Fortuna."

2. A popular American game show in which contestants spin a wheel and solve a word puzzle not unlike Hangman, earning money for every correct consonant based on the value displayed on each wedge. There are many instances of dumb contestants on Wheel who get puzzles completely wrong.
