Wheel Of Fortune To Spin For Houston Contestants

Game show is bringing its Wheelmobile to Memorial City Mall on Saturday and Sunday.

Are you one of the millions of people out there who have always wanted to spin The Wheel and bring home a car and thousands of dollars? If so, you should get to Memorial City Mall this Saturday and Sunday (June 10 and 11).

The famous and popular game show "Wheel of Fortune" is bringing its Wheelmobile to the Houston area this weekend, giving members of the public a chance to become famous on the show and perhaps pick up that car and cash.

Here's how the organizers say it is going to work: You put your name in a random drawing, and if it's chosen you will compete in a simulated version of the Wheel game and get the chance to appear on television.

You need to be at the mall one hour before each show (1 p.m., 2:30 p.m., and 4 p.m.) — go to Ice Skate USA in the mall — and stand in line near California Pizza Kitchen.

According to the show's organizers, they are looking for energetic, enthusiastic people, so bring your A Game. You must be at least 18, and it pays to know how the game works before you get on stage.
