Tom Jones of Foothills County won $1 million

A Foothills County resident is enjoying his Friday more than usual after winning $1 million on The Bigger Spin this week.

Tom Jones won $10,000 on a scratch ticket he originally bought at the Coop at 4705 49 St. in Barrhead, which allowed him to play the game in person at Century Casino Fort Road in Edmonton.

Jones' family was in the audience, who were shocked to see him claim the top prize to end the event.

“It hasn't hit me yet, but I'm very excited,” Jones said in a media release. “It will be great to help my family with this!”

Jones will share some of his winnings with his family and use some to restore his dream car, a 1971 Chevelle.

In all, six Albertans won a total of $2.7 million this week playing game show games like Plinko, The Big Spin and The Bigger Spin.
