It was 1968, and my husband and I had just moved to California from Texas. We'd sold our furniture to make the move and needed to replace everything - and quickly.
I came up with the idea of being a game show contestant. I watched every program and at last settled on ABC's Temptation.
I said to my husband, "I'm going to be on a game show and win some prizes, maybe even a color TV!"
He laughed and said, "While you're at it, why not win a vacation?"
At the Palace, which was packed, my hopes began to fade when I learned that potential contestants had to set up an interview months in advance. I slid down in my seat to watch the taping, determined to leave as soon as I could.
Between tapings, an announcer told jokes to keep the audience lively. After one part, he must have run out of jokes because he peered into the crowd and asked, "How is everybody? Anyone have any problems?"
Seeing my chance, I jumped up and said, "Yes, I have a problem!"
Everyone turned to stare at me. The house lights came up. I said, "I came all the way from Texas to be on this show, and I'm just not seeing how it's gonna happen."
A man with a headset who turned out to be the director waved his hand at me. "Come on up here," he said. Taking me aside, he said I was the kind of contestant the show wanted, and he invited me back for the next taping.
I was nervous, but I was the big winner after five rounds and was rushed to change for another taping. That time I won a total of almost $16,000 worth of goods-a large sum in 1968.
We furnished our new house with my winnings, which did include a color TV and a vacation.
