A Wheel of Fortune contestant who won $78,000 and a luxury car on the game show is revealing his plans for the winnings.
Jason Nieradka, from Kernersville, North Carolina, picked up host Ryan Seacrest and spun him around after he won $78,000 on May 14. He then returned the following night with the other four winners of the week. They all had the chance to win the Chevy Corvette Stingray, which was chosen by Jay Leno.
