It's estimated that around 100,000 people set out for the Klondike, 40,000 of them got there, 20,000 actually prospected or dug for gold when they did get there, and only 300 made more than $15,000 in gold. And only 50 of that 300 kept their wealth long. To show these statistics graphically, the museum has a wheel of fortune to spin. Mr Monkey span the wheel and turned out to be a winner.
