Teacher Wins $1,000 on Wheel of Fortune TV Show
- October 22, 2009
It wasn’t a fortune, but it was a good chunk of pocket change that Woodlawn Middle School’s Danelle Miller won this month on Wheel of Fortune. The Social Studies teacher won $1,000 on the television game show October 14 after losing a bit to several bankrupts. Miller (in photo) enjoyed meeting celebrities Vanna White and host Pat Sajak (in photo). “It was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” Miller said. “I think I giggled the entire show out of pure excitement for just being there.” The show was pre-taped in a Los Angeles studio, and Miller initially qualified by attending preliminary auditions at the Belle of Baton Rouge when the Wheelmobile visited.
