Jorge Vargas of Arleta wins $120,000 on The Big Spin!

Jorge VargasJorge Vargas of Arleta just started playing the Lottery. He turned 18 in December, the minimum age to play. But he already knows what he’s doing. “Once I scratched the ticket and saw ‘TV Show’ three times, I knew right away what that meant,” explained Vargas.  What that meant was he would appear on the “The Big Spin” show to spin the largest prize wheel in the world. In fact, he would get to spin it twice. His first spin landed in the “TRIPLE” spoke and his second spin landed in the $40,000 spoke, making his grand total $120,000! Vargas plans to buy his mom a house and continue his schooling to become a veterinarian with his prize.
