Snohomish Woman Wins Big on "Wheel of Fortune" - NBC Right Now/KNDO/KNDU Tri-Cities, Yakima, WA |

SNOHOMISH, Wash. - A Snohomish woman is now $147,000 richer thanks to the game show, "Wheel of Fortune."

Cindy Kling is the second-highest winner the TV show has ever had, behind a $1 million winner four years ago. The show recorded the episode in September, but she had to keep her winnings a secret until the show aired this week. 

Kling had been applying online to be a contestant for the last 12 years until directors accepted her. She works as a part-time Everett Community College teacher and contract instructor for Boeing.
