Arthur Clough Jr., a 76-year-old man from Farmington Hills in southern Oakland County, won a $250,000 prize from Michigan Lottery. This, after spinning the prize wheel on The Big Spin tv show hosted by Detroit basketball champion John Salley.
Arthur Clough Jr. was pretty surprised when first he won an opportunity to appear on Michigan Lottery’s The Big Spin show. But, was surprised yet again, when he won $250,000 live on-stage during Michigan Lottery’s The Big Spin tv show. Clough was tapped to take part in the show after entering non-winning The Big Spin tickets at MIBigSpin.com.

“When I got the call about being on the show it was just so hard to believe I’d been selected,” said Clough. I must have read the email about the show three times before I could really believe it.
“Winning this much money is great for my wife and I. Because, there are some things we’ve been wanting to do, like buy her a new car and get new appliances. Now we can do that without worrying. I’m even going to take her out to dinner tonight!”
