Maryland Veteran Wins Big on The Big Spin Wheel

CUMBERLAND, MD – A long-standing routine of playing Maryland Lottery scratch-offs finally paid off for Lantis and Tammy Edwards of Cumberland, as they won $90,000 on The Big Spin Wheel. After repeatedly uncovering the “SPIN” symbol on their $5 BIG SPIN scratch-off tickets, this latest ticket took them all the way to the Lottery headquarters in Baltimore for a chance to spin the 6-foot-tall Big Spin Wheel.

Tammy described the moment she found out they won the trip to the headquarters, comparing it to a scene from ‘Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.’ “Lantis called me on the phone and said, ‘You’re not going to believe this! I got the Big Spin!’ He was hooting and hollering,” she recounted. The couple’s trip was not only exciting but also fruitful, as Lantis’s spin resulted in a $90,000 win.

The Edwards, who are nearing their 24th wedding anniversary, have a playful tradition where Lantis, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and small-business owner, brings home THE BIG SPIN scratch-offs for Tammy to scratch. The windfall comes as a delightful surprise, with plans to pay off bills and possibly purchase a new vehicle. Despite the win, Lantis intends to continue working, still cherishing the joy that comes with playing the Lottery games.
