A 35-year-old woman with Boston-area roots has won $350,000 on the "Don't Forget the Lyrics" game show.
"It was like being at Six Flags but being on a ride for an hour," Deanna Dellacioppa said of being on stage, trying to remember lyrics and singing the songs. The show, which was taped in August, aired last night on Fox 25.
Dellacioppa now lives in Los Angeles, but her parents still own the Winchester house she grew up in and Nicola Pizza in Arlington, where they have worked for more than 30 years. One of her plans for the prize money: to take them on a family cruise.
"If I could give them an inch of what they have given me, it would be incredible," she said.
