J. Danny Wedgeworth, a carpenter who beat huge odds by becoming the first person to win two shots at the state lottery’s Big Spin, got a gambler’s lesson in “easy come, easy go.” Santa Barbara County Superior Court Judge Zel Canter ruled in Santa Maria that Wedgeworth, 26, must turn over all of the money that he won May 3 to make child-support payments for his 2-year-old son in Pennsylvania. Wedgeworth won a $10,000 jackpot on his second try. On his first crack at the Big Spin last November, he won $50,000.
