Vacations with First Class Travel on Tap for Big Spin Winners
SACRAMENTO, Calif.-(Business Wire)-June 28, 2008 - This week on the California Lottery's Big Spin(R) show, two contestants won a combined total of $90,000. The show aired statewide Saturday, June 28, 2008. The grand total won this week was $112,500!
Glenn Casey from San Diego has several things on his wish list. "I want to travel to the Caribbean, Australia and Europe, remodel my home and fly first class to a family reunion in Little Rock, Arkansas," explained Casey. With his $60,000, he should be able to cross several things off of his list.
Corinne Rye of Riverside was the contestant who outplayed nine other contestants in Aces High this week. When Rye told friends and family she had won a trip to the Big Spin no one believed her because it was April Fool's Day. "I had to fax the ticket to my aunt so she would believe me," said Rye. "Once I did that, she knew I wasn't trying to fool her!" Rye won $30,000 and wants to take her daughters on vacation and pay some bills with her prize. -0- *T Winners Summary NAME CITY AMOUNT ———————————— ————————————— ————————— Glenn Casey San Diego $60,000 Corinne Rye Riverside $30,000 Frank Lam Goleta $5,000 Kristnah Smalley Los Angeles $4,000 Rodney Dailey Whittier $2,500 Karen Perdomo Santa Fe Springs $2,000 Margaret Lang Long Beach $2,000 Jaime Jimenez Murrieta $1,750 Jose Galvez Colton $1,750 Heide Dewitt Apple Valley $1,750 Vivek Shrestha Alameda $1,750 TOTAL $112,500 *T
