Reporter resigns on air thinking she had won lottery jackpot

A Spanish TV reporter of public broadcaster RTVE, Natalia Escudero resigned live on air after thinking that she won a lottery jackpot. She thought that she had won a huge amount of prize money through the lottery in Spain's el Gordo (The Fat One) Christmas lottery. But to her utter shock, it later turned out to be a very small win only. Escudero was in the middle of a live broadcast when she found out she had won a prize in the Spanish Christmas Lottery when the results were announced. She celebrated her lottery win and while facing the camera she also said that she will not be going to work the next day, which was quite hilarious as well.
