Reporter Quits On-Air After Lottery Win, Then Realizes She Only Gets $5,000

KFI:

There is probably no feeling like the excitement of winning a jackpot in a lottery. It’s something few people get to experience, but it happened to one reporter in Spain live on the air.

Natalia Escudero took part in the country’s Christmas lottery, which is called El Gordo. The top prize is just over four million dollars, but it gets shared among the winners if there is more than one. Well the winning number was 26590, and that’s what was on Natalia’s ticket. While reporting live, she screamed in excitement and had champagne sprayed around her. She then told the anchors in the studio she wouldn’t be coming to work tomorrow, implying she was quitting.
