Jill Prince made Bills Mafia proud earlier this week.

The Allegany, N.Y. native was chosen to participate in Wheel of Fortune's NFL Superfan Tournament, and on Tuesday night, she donned her blue Bills' jersey, and competed against fans of other NFL teams for both money, and bragging rights.

At the end of the episode, Prince walked away with not only the bragging rights, but a decent sum of cash, as well.

On an unrelated note: how many folding tables can be bought with $65,698?
