Her news station-based colleagues smiled and laughed at her excitement. The crowd behind her jumped and chanted with their lottery tickets in hand.

She paused some of the excitement to interview a fellow lottery winner about what she intends to do with the money. Natalia said she planned to pay off her debts and live more freely doing what she like. She couldn't believe her good fortune as she spoke into the microphone with her lottery ticket going in and out of the shot.

She pulled the woman who sold her a prize winning ticket and kissed her on the cheek. She repeated her lottery number and said she would never forget it. She even would need a tattoo of it. Unfortunately, she would later learn that her share of the jackpot was only €5,000 (S$7,500), BBC reported.
