SACRAMENTO - California State Lottery players won a total of $157,500 on "The Big Spin®" show that aired statewide Saturday, May 13, 2006.
Melanie Fushi, a financial analyst from Sunland, approached the Fantasy 5 Dream Machine with big plans. She wanted to take a cruise as well as begin remodeling her home by purchasing new windows. After winning $70,000, it looks like her plans will be realized. She can afford to pay someone to replace all the windows in her house while she’s on a luxury cruise in the Caribbean.
Benedicta Herrera, a housekeeper from El Monte, outplayed nine other Aces High contestants to win $40,000. "It’s a dream to be here," she said as she walked away from the big wheel. Herrera plans to turn her dreams into reality and use her winnings to remodel her house.
Ana Archila, a housekeeper from Los Angeles, was the lucky contestant who uncovered SPIN-SPIN-SPIN on her Scratchers ticket. She won $25,000 which she plans to use as a down payment for a new home.
