Meghan Malaney, a 1998 River Falls High School graduate, scored big time during a February appearance on the syndicated TV show, Wheel of Fortune. Malaney, a winning contestant, ended up solving a puzzle that netted her almost $50,000 in cash, prizes including a 2011 Mazda, and trips to Hawaii and Italy.

Malaney's Wheel of Forture appearance has already been shown on TV. In this story are two YouTube links of her on the show that can be accessed.

In it, the 31-year-old Malaney tells game show host Pat Sajak that she loves everything Wisconsin.

Then she shouts, "Go Badgers!" and "Go Packers!" Sajak takes notes of her sudden burst of enthusiasm.

Malaney works as an account manager in Glen Ellyn, Ill. Her parents, Dan and Jan Malaney, continue to live in River Falls.
