A cattle rancher from a small town in Montana was recently a contestant of Wheel of Fortune, a popular game show on television. She not only competed on the show, but also made it to the bonus round.

Wheel of Fortune has been around for a really long time. My grandparents used to watch WOF religiously every night. Now, my parents do the same thing. For many Americans, sitting down to watch Wheel of Fortune is a nightly ritual. The show may be popular, but it's not every day that you see a person from Montana as one of the contestants.
