SNOHOMISH, Wash. (AP) - A Snohomish woman won $147,000 on "Wheel of Fortune."
Cindy Kling told The Daily Herald she was the second-highest winner on the TV game show, after a $1 million winner four years ago.
The show was recorded in September in Los Angeles, and Kling had to keep her winning a secret until the show aired Friday.
Kling says her son was on the show about 15 years ago. She applied online for 12 years until she was finally accepted as a contestant.
Kling is a part-time Everett Community College teacher and contract instructor for Boeing.

Good for her, I have been trying for Jeopardy for a number of years now and they have another opportunity for applying for Jeopardy next week. One of these days I will get on there, just hope I can do as well as she just did.
Nice, good for her.

Persistence... Pays off. :)Â Congratulations!
 @Kermee I agree!  It's nice to see some POSITIVE fluff stories now and then.
How much is the state going to expect to take in taxes?
 @Tattooed_Angel Washington should get NONE of it, unless she buy's something.  Of course the FED's probably ALREADY got their cut.  I dunno about California where the show is filmed... does anyone out there know?
40% or so. Ick.
Just think of how many vowels you could buy with that money...
@Vexorg Well, 5 at least. Lol
@Vexorg You'd need that many vowels if they ever do a Hawaiian Language version of Wheel.
That's cool, good for her!
