30 New Contestants to Get Chance to Spin for $2-Million Lottery Prize

Thirty more people were selected Tuesday to spin a giant wheel for a chance to win California Lottery prizes of as much as $2 million.

The first 20 people whose names were drawn Tuesday at lottery regional headquarters in Whittier will take the “Big Spin” Monday night. The last 10 may not get their chance until Nov. 18, a lottery spokesman said. All are $100 winners on the “scratch-off” lottery tickets.

Timing depends on whether the television studio where the spins take place can accommodate 30 people and whether the Lottery Commission decides to run the finalists through the program that quickly.

Finalists chosen Tuesday were: Linda Woods, Canoga Park; Adolfina Viramontes, Woodbridge; Marina Ruiz, Long Beach; Phyllis Barker, Claremont; Barbara Wangberg, Citrus Heights; Beatrice Profitt, Huntington Beach; Emma Herbert, San Jose; Reyna Anello, Healdsburg; Sharon Nunez, Newport Beach, and Victor Rovira, Mission Hills.

Also, Hazel Torigian, Dinuba; Leon McConnell, Shafter; Savitri Patel, Merced; Joyce Kane, Moraga; Pete Lopez, Broderick; Maruhisa Mochizuka, La Mirada; Willa Grady, Northridge; George Jalindo, Fontana; Ivan Wiech Jr., San Diego; Lorenza Sanchez, Los Angeles; Roger Rickman, San Diego; Christa Watson, Beaumont; Donald Brown, Richmond; James Bush, Pleasant Hill; Priscilla Holt, Sacramento; Vincent Lantosh Jr., Riverside; Olivia Martinez, Monterey Park; Fannie Olgin, Long Beach; Todd Lane, Bakersfield, and Ruben Ramos, San Jose.
