NAPERVILLE, IL — A Naperville resident who saw "Wheel of Fortune" live when she was a child will get her own opportunity to compete on the ABC show Nov. 4. Divya Mehta, an attorney, wife and mother of two, won a "Wheel of Fortune" hat when she told Pat Sajak a joke while visiting the show as a young girl. Now, she has a chance to win money and prizes on the beloved game show she grew up watching.

This story featured in the video application Mehta sent in the hopes of being chosen as a contestant. This led to a virtual audition, which resulted in Mehta being picked to compete on "Wheel of Fortune."

To watch Mehta in action on "Wheel of Fortune," tune in to WLS (ABC 7) at 6:30 p.m. CST on Nov. 4.
