CARY<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On multiple occasions, Miami hockey sports information director Tim Cary has tweeted about wanting to appear on \u201cWheel of Fortune,\u201d thinking he could win serious money there.<\/p>\n

Promise made, promise delivered, and doesn\u2019t the long-running show\u2019s host know it.<\/p>\n

After Cary won $25,420 in cash and prizes during an episode taped in November and aired last Thursday, he rewrote his Twitter bio to read in part, \u201cPat Sajak once told me that I could stop tweeting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cary rolled on the show, beating his two co-contestants by at least $20,000 apiece, but it wasn\u2019t until the end of a process that took five months that many people knew what had happened.<\/p>\n

He applied to go on the show in August, auditioned in September via videoconference, and found out in October that he had made the cut. He headed out to the Sony Pictures Entertainment studios in Culver City, Calif, on a week when Miami was playing away from home, and he missed RedHawks coach Chris Bergeron\u2019s regularly-scheduled Wednesday press conference as a result.<\/p>\n

He tweeted on Dec. 12 that his episode of \u201cWheel of Fortune\u201d would air 10 days later. When it did, his phone notifications spiked.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought I should have some kind of selfie contest or whatever,\u201d Cary said. \u201cI\u2019ve had a couple of people send me random pictures of themselves with their TVs. It\u2019s funny to see where people were watching.\u201d<\/p>\n
