Daily Mail - An incredible moment was captured on live television when two news anchors realized the name on the winning ticket for a $2million lottery was that of their colleague.
Global BC hosts Sophie Lui and Squire Barnes were stunned to discover sports anchor Barry Deley had won the jackpot prize as they presented their Monday morning show from Vancouver.
Barnes then phoned his friend live on air to tell the new millionaire what had happened, to which a delighted Deley replied: 'You know people are going to think this is kind of fishy don't you?'
He now has the choice of $2m in cash or one of four properties in the area worth up to $2.5m after winning the BC Children's Hospital Dream Lottery, which is drawn live on Global BC each year.
In an interview with his employers later that day, Deley explains that 'we always try to support the lottery' after his daughter Eden was diagnosed with leukemia seven years ago.
'Children's Hospital has just been a huge part of our life because they saved her life. We're forever grateful.'
They later went on to say that everyone in the sports department plays the lottery every week except for Barry. He decided to play this week and won? Yea Barry, we think it's a little fishy for sure. Figures he wasn't at work when he won. Would have looked even more fishy then. And he makes his co-anchors act all surprised and call him at the super market and tell him he won. Then they even go further and act like they don't know what the prizes are. You give that damn prize out every time. I'm sure they are all in on it. Good play Barry, good play. Can't say I wouldn't have done the same for myself.
