SACRAMENTO - "Make Me a Millionaire," the California Lottery’s TV game show, awarded 12 lucky contestants a total of $151,000 in cash and prizes on this week’s show.
Tom Campbell from Cathedral City is a lucky man. He won $10,000 on the Make Me a Millionaire show this past May and bought corporate bonds. This week he played the Millionaire Game again and won $70,000. What he plans to do with his prize may sound familiar, “I’ll invest every dime,” he explained.
