AUDIO: TV REPORTER WINS LOTTERY LIVE ON THE AIR
A TV reporter in Spain who was doing a segment on that country’s lottery found out she was one of the winners on live TV. Natalia Escudero, a reporter for RTVE, was delivering a report on the National Lottery’s annual Christmas drawing Sunday. When they drew the numbers, she discovered she was a winner. She joked, “I’m not coming into work tomorrow.” Escudero said her winning ticket was not one of the $436,000 grand prize winners, but rather worth around $5,500 – maybe not quite enough to quit her job.
