VALDOSTA — A Valdosta man won big Wednesday on one of America’s most popular television game shows.
Josh Thompkins won cash and prizes worth more than $64,000 on “Wheel of Fortune,” broadcast in South Georgia on WCTV. His haul included a trip to the island of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands and $50,000 cash in the bonus round.
His sister Jasmine was on hand to see his lucky streak as he completed letter-guessing puzzles such as “Brilliant coral reef,” “A locket in my pocket,” “Virginia Beach” and the bonus round puzzle “Ahead of the pack.”
In conversation with host Pat Sajak, Thompkins said he enjoys roller skating.
