Mario Alvarado of Cudahy wins $60,000 on The Big Spin!

Mario AlvaradoMario Alvarado, a social worker from Cudahy, is a considerate and giving son however, he, is somewhat of a novice when it comes to the Lottery. When he scratched his Big Spin® ticket and found “TV Show” three times, he explained his reaction, “I didn’t think I had won anything until I read the back and thought, well, I guess I’ll fill it out.” Alvarado says he asked his mom what she wanted him to buy her. She told him she wanted a donkey. So with his $60,000 prize, she will get a donkey and he says, “I’ll probably buy her something else too.”
