This just never happens at Channel Seven.
But in Canada two news anchors were shocked when they realised the winner of a live lottery draw was their very own network sports reporter.
Barry Deley won a $2.5m house (or $2m in cash if he prefers).
His colleagues rang him live on air while he was shopping for groceries.

Awesome unscripted TV at it’s best.
Oh don’t get me started on lotto – 5 and a Supp a couple of months ago in Oz Lotto, thought it was new car time, but it paid $380…. not bad but a bit underwhelming considering what could’ve been
This is a hilarious clip
Oh David I hear you on that! The night I had 5 numbers I was flushed and sweating, checked the internet and then had little cry 🙁
I did get $40 though.
Andrew’s just jealous that he has never been that 1 in 50 million winner of the lottery. :p
Its a different company I’m sure. and if you watched the clip he basically said he would have donated anyway because of his Daughter so its unlikely that he was forced into it by a contact deal or anything….
I got excited last weekend when I had 5 numbers. Then I realised I had won about $30 bucks. Sheesh.
@Andrew_J81 – yeah, it def proves that. So much proof that you can’t poke a stick at it.
LOL! It’s totally the Kent Brockman thing!
At least now they’ll know how to pronounce his name!
A gracious and funny winner.
Pretty funny. What’s even funnier is the way they say ‘house’.
Why do I think of the Simpsons episode where Kent Brockman won the lottery during the news, when I see this?
This is so cool but the anchor keeps playing with the papers on the desk.
Funny how there’s a choice in the prize..
What would stop him from taking the house and then selling it for 2.5 million?
Simpsons: “…and the winner of tonight’s lottery is…. me, Kent Brockman!”
Surely employees can”t win competitions like these? Unless it was a separate company?
But it does go to prove my theory of all or most competitions being rigged or fake.
Lol! That anchor guy seems slighty jealous.
this is so very cool, love it !!!!!!
