Avenel Man Wins Chance at Appearing on The Monopoly Millionaires' Club TV Show
A man from the Avenel section of Woodbridge isn't a millionaire, but he's got a shot to become one.
An Avenel man was one of 20 Monopoly Millionaires’ Club lottery game players to be selected to travel to Las Vegas for the chance to appear on The Monopoly Millionaires’ Club, New Jersey Lottery officials said.
Edward T. Walsh, of Avenel, was among the 20 randomly selected trip winners. Walsh and one guest each will receive a five-day, four-night trip to Las Vegas, plus spending money, and will become audience members of the Monopoly Millionaires’ Club television show, lottery officials said.
Each episode of the program offers contestants the potential to win $2.5 million. Contestants will be randomly chosen from the lottery winners in the audience.
