wheel of fortune
Destiny's turning cycle
A wheel of fortune is a spinning wheel divided into sections with different prizes or outcomes, used in gambling and games of chance.
The contestant spins the wheel and wins whatever prize corresponds to where it stops.
Figuratively, the wheel of fortune represents the random nature of fate—luck spinning unpredictably between good and bad: The wheel of fortune had turned against him. (Capitalized Wheel of Fortune is the television game show.)
