Wheel of Fortune

Is this your lucky day, and will you just roll through this puzzle like any other? Or... will you be desperate to escape the torture of the (little) killers?
The usual killer sudoku rules apply:
- Normal sudoku rules apply, i.e. each of the digits from 1 to 9 needs to appear exactly once in each row, column, and 3-by-3 box.
- An area in the grid surrounded by a dashed line is called a 'killer cage'. The number in the upper left corner of a cage is the sum of the digits within that cage. Digits cannot repeat within a cage.
- Digits along diagonals indicated by arrows must sum to the given number at that arrow. Digits may repeat along a diagonal.

Good luck!
Solution code: The 9 digits in column 1 from top to bottom, followed by the 9 digits in row 1 from left to right, no spaces, for example: 123456789123456789

Wow, what a tricky break-in! Took me a few unsuccessful spins of the wheel before finally hitting gold. Very clever construction and satisfying to solve, thanks Qodec! :)

Pretty tough puzzle for me since little killer has always caused me trouble to find best logics; once I managed to get through the start, the puzzle became smooth enough to resolve. Thank you for this thrilling ride :)

Great puzzle! Quite a lot of bookkeeping, so having Notepad at hand might be a good idea...
