SACRAMENTO – Not only do our contestants have an extra hour of daylight to look forward to this weekend, they also had the chance to win up to $3 million this week on the Big Spin Show. With three contestants playing the Fantasy 5 Dream Machine and one individual going up against nine other contestants in Aces High, who wouldn’t be excited? This show aired statewide Saturday, March 10, 2007.
Three lucky contestants all played the Fantasy 5 Dream Machine. Sherrie Moore, from Alta Loma, a 
professional photographer now has plenty of money to spend on her wedding with her $75,000 win. “My fiancé will be very happy to have such a huge budget for our wedding!” said Moore. Veretta Benford, from Los Angeles, is a homemaker who was elated to win $30,000. “I think I’ll take a trip,” said Benford. Brian Threlkeld, from Dublin, won $10,000. “I might use it to put a down payment on a house,” said Threlkeld.
June Miller, a caregiver from Modesto, outplayed nine other contestants in Aces High, sending her to The Big Spin wheel for a $60,000 windfall! “I’m going to vacation in Hawaii!” said Miller. She would also like to help out her family.
