Argentinian Professor Wins Record Jackpot in Spanish Game Show

Argentinian professor wins over $3 million in Spanish game show. An Argentinian-born professor, residing in Galicia (Spain), has become the winner of the largest jackpot in the history of the Spanish television game show 'Pasapalabra' by completing the final 'Rosco', followed daily by thousands of people. This has allowed her to pocket 2,716,000 euros ($3,198,171), a figure never before reached in the show presented by Roberto Leal on Antena 3. The contestant, who had been in 307 consecutive programs battling against Manu Pascual from Madrid, thus closed one of the longest, most balanced, and tense duels remembered in this format. It has been months of daily confrontation marked by equality and resilience, a duel that has hooked an average of 1.928 million viewers and has become the main attraction of the show, which averages a 20.3% audience share so far this season. Only the final 'Rosco', the stage of the climax, reached peaks of 25% 'share'. This final 'Rosco' was resolved with the suspense that has defined the entire season. Rosa reached the final lap with the time very tight: when three seconds were left, she returned to the letter M and the next question: 'Surname of the American football player who in 1968 was named the NFL's most valuable player by the AP agency?'. And Rosa, trembling, pronounced the correct surname, 'Morrall', and the studio erupted in applause, and there was no longer time for more questions or for a rebuttal because the jackpot already had an owner: Rosa, 32, originally from Quilmes (Argentina) and raised in Galicia. Born on October 18, 1993, in 2001, when she was 7 years old, her parents decided to return to Spain, specifically to A Coruña (Galicia), the place where she has lived the most. He was a substitute for most of his career, which, however, had stellar performances, like Rosa tonight.
