ROSEVILLE, Calif. — A woman from Roseville is competing on Wheel of Fortune Thursday.
Deanna Ponseti will be competing for the prize alongside Ed Combong from Suisun City. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. on ABC10.
"I had sent in my audition tape almost three years ago, so when I got the email, I thought it was spam," Ponseti told ABC10. "It was such an incredible experience to spend the day on the set, meeting Pat and Vanna, and the day just flew by. Super excited to watch with my family tonight!"
Ryan Seacrest was recently announced as the replacement for long-time host Pat Sajak following his departure next year. Vanna White extended her contract for Wheel of Fortune through the 2025-2026 season.
