A Sepulveda woman interrupted a Hawaii vacation to participate in the California Lottery’s “Big Spin” and won $1 million, payable over 20 years. Lorraine Deyo, 61, a clerk-typist for the Los Angeles Unified School District, will get an annual check for $40,000. The lottery deducts 20% federal income tax. Deyo said she flew back to California to take a chance at spinning the rainbow-colored wheel of fortune. She will return to Hawaii to complete her vacation. She was one of five spinners, all of whom failed to win the grand prize, which starts at $3 million and grows by $65,000 each time it is not won. It will start at $5,275,000 next week.
