Former Lakeside resident Elli Lobach, a graduate student at Harvard University originally from Lakeside, will be a contestant in the "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" hot seat on May 13-14 with celebrity guest host Samantha Harris.

"Who Wants to be a Millionaire" can be seen locally on KTMF (ABC), weekdays at 3 p.m.

Lobach, 28, is a 1999 graduate of Flathead High School and is the daughter of Jack and Muffie Thomson of Lakeside.

When Lobach graduated from college, her father gave her a copy of "A River Runs Through It" with the inscription "Remember where you came from."His advice for being on "Millionaire" was no different: Represent Montana well and win big.

Lobach's brother, Andrew Thomson, an airline employee from Lakeside, served as one of her three potential "Phone A Friends' for her "Millionaire" taping.
