Virginia joined three other contestants who went up against one of Australia's best trivia masters, Anne Hegerty, who featured as the chaser for this episode, in the hopes of winning a big sum of money.
This was Virginia's second time competing on a trivia show after her debut performance on Million Air in 2001 which saw her take-home prize money.
Unfortunately, this time around, Virginia didn't land a win but said she enjoyed the experience nonetheless.
"We (the contestants)] didn't win any big money this time, but it was an excellent experience," Virginia said.
Virginia said competing on quiz shows "is like a drug" to her and something she has a good time doing.
"I'm good with general knowledge and I love trivia."
The episode was filmed in 2018 but didn't air until 2020 due to the show host, Andrew O'Keefe, having fallen ill.
Ms Carter said one of the standout moments of the whole experience for her was getting to meet Andrew.
"I gave him [Andrew] a mug that said I love Dubbo on it. I've lived in Dubbo for 40 years and wherever I go I make sure I promote it," she said.
"I love Dubbo."
