Lisa Ann Walter Believes Her Dead Mother Visited Her During 'Celebrity Jeopardy!' and Helped Her Win $1 Million

Lisa Ann Walter shared how her late mother helped her win the $1 million prize on 'Celebrity Jeopardy!' during Tuesday's episode of 'Live with Kelly and Mark'

Walter shared how her mother — a teacher and an avid reader who would ready four mystery novels at a time — "came to me at that moment."
