Marquette woman wins Caribbean vacation

One U.P. woman won a free trip to the Caribbean Wednesday morning from the “Live with Kelly” show.

Winner Teresa Parnell, a hair stylist at Reflections Hair Salon, enters the morning show’s trivia contest every day. The way the contest works is that the show’s hosts spin a wheel that lands on a specific location. They then call one of their viewers and ask them a trivia question. It’s usually about something occurring on the previous day’s show.

If the viewer gets the question correct, they win an all-expense paid vacation.

Parnell correctly answered the question Wednesday morning, and won a trip for two to Barbados.

“I had to like calm myself down. My heart - my heart's still pumping. I just, I'm flying high today,” Parnell said. “Yes, I am very lucky, but I also enter every single day. You have to - persistence, persistence, persistence - it paid off this time."

Parnell said both her and her sister enter the contest every, single day. Their agreement, if one of them wins the vacation, is they’ll take the other with them. The two will take their Caribbean vacation next February.
