LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
A Utah mom has become the first person to win $1 million on NBC’s “Deal or No Deal.”
Jessica Robinson, 27, became the first grand-prize winner in the top-rated show’s 3-year history.
The show was taped July 9 in Los Angeles and aired Monday night.
She won with a simple plan: stick to case No. 4, chosen because there will soon be four in her family.
Robinson, who already has one child, was nearly 30 weeks pregnant when the show was taped.
She and her husband, Ross, plan to move their family to Austin, Texas, where her family lives. Ross Robinson plans to get a newer truck and start a window-cleaning business. She plans a shopping spree. The rest of the money, they say, will be socked away.
