Cape May Resident Scores Luxury Cruise Prize on Live with Kelly & Mark

A Cape May woman has won a grand prize vacation valued at more than $42,000 through the syndicated morning show Live with Kelly and Mark. Patti DeStefano, a longtime viewer of Kelly Ripa’s program, was selected as the winner of the show’s “Stump Mark Travel Trivia” contest, which awarded a 13-day luxury cruise to Antarctica. Despite the extraordinary prize, DeStefano admits cruises make her uneasy. She has expressed some anxiety about being surrounded by nothing but icy waters and remote landscapes. Her husband, however, is insistent that they go, describing it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Though conflicted, DeStefano says she plans to take the journey, turning her unexpected television win into an unforgettable adventure.

 Norcross Family Bids $25M for Wonderland Site; Competing Offer Expected

 The Norcross family has submitted a $25 million bid for Ocean City’s former Wonderland Pier site, with another offer expected soon from national homebuilder NVR (Ryan Homes). Developer Eustace Mita, who bought the property in 2021 and proposed a luxury hotel, has listed the site after City Council blocked a zoning review. Community opposition derailed Mita’s vision, citing concerns over scale and traffic, while supporters hoped for economic revitalization. The property remains zoned for amusements, and its future now hinges on which offer Mita accepts.
