SACRAMENTO - California State Lottery players won a total of $195,000 on "The Big Spin®" show that aired statewide Saturday, March 11, 2006.
In this week’s Fantasy 5 Dream Machine there was one contestant playing for the grand prize of $150,000. The third time was the charm for Gerald Reichel from La Jolla, who was visiting the Fantasy 5 "Dream Machine" for an amazing third time. In his two previous trips, Reichel walked away with $85,000 and $30,000 respectively. This time he topped them both, taking home an impressive $95,000. He’s so lucky, we shouldn’t be surprised if we see him a fourth time.
Two groups of 10 contestants played Aces High this week, but it was two teachers that took their trips to the big wheel. In the first group, Cam Wong, a school teacher from Stockton, took home $30,000 and said, "This is the most excitement I’ve ever had." She’s going to use her winnings to take a trip to China. In the second grouping, Thelma Decal, an elementary school teacher from San Diego, won $25,000. Needless to say, that will buy a lot of apples.
