West Orange resident and event planner Lisa Joseph leapt for joy, hugging show host, Pat Sajack, after a final spin and top notch guess landed her enough money to make her California dreams come true.

Joseph was a contestant on the Tuesday night episode of the longtime WABC-TV game show Wheel of Fortune. Lisa hopes to use the $82,050 in cash and prizes to follow her lifelong dream of moving to California.

A huge fan of “Wheel”, she has been watching with her family since she was a toddler and applied to be a contestant online at WheelofFortune.com. In her spare time, Lisa enjoys Zumba and hosting game nights with family and friends in her free time, a rep from the game show stated.
