“Make Me a Millionaire,” the California Lotterys TV game show, awarded 12 lucky contestants a total of 5000 in cash and prizes on this weeks show. This weeks big winner is Steven Shreeve of Castro Valley. Shreeve, who is retired, played an exciting game of California Cool. After working his total up to an impressive 000, he decided to press on and make a run at a whopping 0000. Unfortunately he chose a false statement and had to settle for 000. I was going to go for broke, Shreeve said afterward. He plans to pay bills with some of his winnings. Before Shreeve claimed his 000, Charles Barnes of Yuba City and Douglas Templin of Windsor started the show with big wins in the Lucky Penny game segment. Templin, who recently purchased a car, opted to take the cash equivalent so he could plan a nice vacation. Barnes also opted for the cash, but for a different reason Im going to use it to spoil my grandson, he said. With the Make Me a Millionaire progressive jackpot increasing 0000 each week, next weeks Millionaire game contestant will have a chance to win .2 million.

Missing lottery winner Abraham Shakespeare was a truck driver who won million in a lottery in 2006. Shakespeare lived with his mom at the time he won the million Florida lottery. Shakespeare is believed to have vanished months ago. His mother is holding onto the belief that her son is alive and lying on the Caribbean beaches away from it all. The sheriff leading the case is treating it like its homicide though. The AP quoted the Sheriff Grady Judd: “”There are a lot of odd and bizarre circumstances in this case. We fear and are preparing for the worst. We’re working this case as if it were a homicide.” Shakespeare got his winning ticket at store called Frostproof. He claims that he won the grand prize after giving what little money he had left after buying the tickets to a homeless guy. Soon after that, he won the grand prize. Instead of accepting the annual installments, he instead took 16.9 million upfront. Shakespeare’s problems though were multiplied by a thousand when he got the money. A former co-worker sued him for stealing the winning ticket from him, the jury though ruled in favor of Shakespeare. Shakespeare was asked by friends for money for businesses, funerals, and everyone was just trying to take advantage of him from what it sounds like by friends and family of Shakespeare. The last time Shakespeare was seen was in April 2009. He was reported missing though on November 9, 2009. The plot though is extremely thick. Some are saying his financial adviser killed him. The Polk County Sheriff’s office naming Donice “deedee” Moore a person of interest in the case of missing lottery winner Abraham Shakespeare.

Leslie Marpuri, a 31-year-old Hayward resident and student at Foothill College, is Californias newest millionaire. Marpuri won the .6 million jackpot, becoming the sixth millionaire on the California Lotterys game show. The life-changing win will allow Marpuri and her family she is married and has four children to move out of their one bedroom apartment and into a nice new, spacious home. She will receive approximately 000 each year for the next 20 years. But the win almost didnt happen. Marpuri laid claim to her ticket to the show at one of the Make Me a Millionaire Mall Tour stops, even though she and her husband hadnt planned to go to the mall that day and didnt even know the Lottery game show was having an event there. She talked her husband into going there to kill some time, and before they knew it, they were in line to try their hand at the Safe Cracker game and she had her ticket to the show. Her luck continued as soon as she began the Millionaire game. Marpuri played a perfect game by correctly guessing higher or lower 10 times in a row to spell out MILLIONAIRE. Contestants are afforded two incorrect guesses before the game ends, but Marpuri never received a strike against her. I still cant believe it I feel like Im in a dream, she said. When I hit 000 and realized I still hadnt made a mistake I thought to myself Im going to win.
