Have you ever wondered what it would be like to win a million dollars? I was given the opportunity to cover Utahn Jessica Robinson winning the top prize, $1,000,000, on NBC’s “Deal or No Deal.”
I was sent to cover a party held where her friends and family watched the broadcast where she won. The episode was taped on July 9, 2008 but she had to keep it a secret that she won for almost two months.
In fact, a lot of her family were kept in the dark and most of party goers did not know she won. It was amazing to watch Jessica and her friends and family react as the episode progressed. It was a riot to watch Jessica watch the show and relive the adventure and emotions as the show continued and come completely unglued when she watched herself win. I bet it was also a relief she no longer had to keep such a huge secret.
