Apparently an Oro Valley woman called out the right consonants and bought the right vowels on 'Wheel of Fortune' this week. 

Yvette Tucker was a contestant on Wheel of Fortune Tuesday night and walked away with $19,430 in cash and prizes, including a new car. 

Tucker's journey to wheel of fortune began when she attended a Wheelmobile event in Tucson in February of last year. 

A longtime viewer of the show, Tucker participated in the "Wheel Across America Week," which highlights different locations across the country. 

Tucker is a learning and development professional with two kids and three grandchildren, according to Wheel of Fortune. And as a University of Arizona alumna, she is a proud Wildcats fan (like most of Tucson.)
