The Big Spin TV Show - Hey Mom, I'm On TV!

With reality and million dollar game shows crowding the air waves, one show stands out.  It’s none other than the California Lottery’s very own “The Big Spin®!”

Featuring a HUGE $3 million dollar top prize and lucky Californians from throughout the state, The Big Spin® is reality TV at its best—REAL people winning REAL money!

The Big Spin® has recently undergone some spectacular changes.  We’ve added a new primetime look to the show, more excitement, and a new action-packed game called Aces High.

In Aces High, ten contestants face-off for a chance at becoming California’s next MULTI-millionaire.  Their fate is in their cards and strategy is key, as the SOLE SURVIVOR will move on to the big wheel to spin for a chance at $3 million dollars!  Still, the biggest top prize in game show history!

Another show favorite is the Fantasy 5 Dream Machine, which cranks out cash prizes of up to $150,000 dollars!  It’s also sporting a new look these days, and is slated for additional improvements in the near future. Watch for a new bonus slot offering bigger prizes, ultimately making bigger dreams come true!

The popular Hero in Education segment is a special award segment, which honors public school volunteers for their outstanding efforts. We combine the star-power of a celebrity guest who presents the award with an inspiring story of a volunteer hero in action, to encourage Californians to pitch in where they can to help students succeed in school.

 Co-hosts, Maiquel Alejo and Pat Finn

The hosts who bring you one of the “winningest” and most exciting half-hours in television are the ever-popular Maiquel Alejo and Pat Finn.  Every Saturday night they introduce REAL Californians to a possible life-changing experience, as millions of dollars are up for grabs on The Big Spin®.

How to play “Aces High”:
“Aces High” replaced “California Gold” and is the newest game on “The Big Spin®” show.  In round one ten “Aces High” contestants will either win a dollar amount ranging from $1,750 to $4,000 or get one of two “Ace” cards.  The two contestants who end up with an “Ace” card advance to the second round.  The object of the second round is to get a better hand than the opponent, the best hand being four of a kind.  The contestant with the lower hand wins $5,000 and the contestant with the higher hand goes on to spin the wheel and a chance to win $3 million!
