WOOHOO!!! I won $58,730 and a Safari to South Africa.  Now, that's a dream come true!  What an experience!! 

I didn't really believe Pat when he said I had won that much money.  I was so focused on the game and puzzles.  It's nothing like when you play from home or on the computer.  At home, it's always your turn and you have the chance to look at the puzzle and just concentrate on it.  On stage, you have to think quickly.  It's amazing how when you play from home you say "I wouldn't have called that letter".  Believe me, those are some words I had to eat while taping the show!!!  You are truly at the mercy of the Wheel.

I am so happy to have had the opportunity to be on Wheel of Fortune.  I can't say enough about all the folks who are involved in the Wheel of Fortune family.  The contestant coordinators, the make-up people, Pat, Vanna, and those who work behind the scenes were absolutely WONDERFUL.  All of them made that day truly memorable for me and my family.

You may wonder how I will spend all that money.  Well, I am still in awe of everything that happened that day.  I still can't believe it.  I don't think I know exactly what we'll do with it, but I know I will have a grand time spending it!!! I'm sure my family may have some ideas!!!!

Most of all, through this whole experience, I know that dreams do come true.  Don't give up.  You may get that special "call" one day!!!
