图为该慈善晚会的终极大奖：一颗价值5000美金的钻石

为了给参加者一份惊喜，晚会组织者别出心裁地把当晚的终极大奖——一颗价值5000美金的钻石，藏在了香槟酒杯里，其余的399个杯子被放上了锆石。

误吞钻石的老太米丽娅姆

在第二天常规结肠镜检查时，医生找到了老太误吞的钻石。

　　美国弗罗里达州一位八旬老太，在慈善晚会饮酒时竟误吞了一枚价值5000美金的钻石！据称该钻石正是当晚慈善晚会的终极大奖。

　　这位老太叫米丽娅姆，上周末参加了一场慈善晚会。为了给参加者一份惊喜，晚会组织者别出心裁地把当晚的终极大奖——一颗价值5000美金的钻石，藏在了香槟酒杯里，其余的399个杯子被放上了锆石。按照流程，晚会结束的时候，组织者会检查每一个人的杯子，杯子里有钻石的人就可以赢得这颗钻石。

　　不幸的是，米丽娅姆喝得太急，根本没留意究竟喝下的是什么，后来发现自己好像误吞了东西时，她还心存侥幸希望误吞的不是钻石大奖。最后米丽娅姆不得不无奈承认所作所为，紧接着她就被送往附近医院就医，然而X光并没有在她体内发现钻石。好在第二天常规结肠镜检查时，医生找到了钻石。经确认，该钻石正是当晚的那颗奖品钻石。现在米丽娅姆打算把这颗钻石当成传家宝，传给子孙后代。
