On February 22, 2003, Leo Ramdwar, a plant manager from Los Angeles was the first contestant of this year to win $1 million on "The Big Spin" show. After his win, Ramdwar told his wife to pinch him because he could not believe it. Ramdwar said he will travel all over Europe with his winnings. When asked about giving advice to other Lottery players, he repeatedly said, "Just keep buying those Scratchers and you could win just like me."
