Western Kentucky University alumna Kate Miller, who appeared on NBC’s &#8220Deal or No Deal” Monday and Wednesday with mascot Big Red, has big plans for the $109,000 she won on the show – she’s leaving for a weekend trip to New York, where her first purchase will be a purse.

Miller, a 2003 graduate, told the Evansville (Ind.) Courier & Press that, although she’s an &#8220admitted shop-a-holic,” some of her winnings are earmarked for Habitat for Humanity, her church and her alma mater. At a Wednesday night viewing party in Evansville, Big Red collected additional donations for Habitat for Humanity.

During the game show, which aired Monday and concluded Wednesday, Miller turned down offers of $82,000 and $68,000 from the show’s &#8220banker.” She then took &#8220sold” her case for $109,000 – a case that turned out to have $75 in it.

&#8220When we moved into six figures, I was out of there,” she told the paper. &#8220When he said that, no matter what it was, $100,000 or above, I was out of there. I was ready to deal.”
