Temecula resident Mercedes Roen may win big, but TV viewers won't find out just how big until Wednesday.

Roen will be a featured contestant on the Nov. 13 airing of a special Twitter episode of CBS’s long-running game show, "Let's Make A Deal."

Taped Friday, Nov. 8, the special episode featuring Roen allowed fans to vote on elements of the daytime show, which included more than $150,000 in cash and prizes, via Twitter.

"Each act of the show has a key element that was voted upon -- from choosing whether an exotic sports car should be in a deal or its cash equivalent, to the prizes affecting the 'Big Deal of the Day' -- the fans decided by using the Twitter handle @letsmakedealCBS and hashtag #DecideTheDeal!" according to a statement from a show representative.

Votes were tallied immediately, with the most popular choices incorporated into the episode as it taped, the rep explained.

To catch Roen on the Nov. 13 airing of CBS's "Let's Make A Deal," check local listings.
