Bayville Resident Gets On Wheel Of Fortune Tuesday Night

Pat, I would like to solve the puzzle: Bayville resident to appear on Wheel of Fortune. Gina Maslen, of Bayville, competed on the game show in November, and her episode will air at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday on ABC, the show announced.

The show chose Maslen, a receptionist at the senior-living community The Pines in Whiting, out of 70 applicants to appear on the show, she said. She applied online, received an invite to audition and played a simulated game of Wheel of Fortune in Philadelphia.

She found out two weeks later she would fly to Los Angeles for the episode taping in November. Until her episode airs, Maslen said she is not allowed to say if or what she won or whether she made it to the final puzzle.

"It was thrilling, very exciting, and I had the time of my life," Maslen said.

CORRECTION: A Wheel of Fortune spokesman provided incorrect information on the date of the show's airing. It's Tuesday.
