A Virginia Beach teen won $125,000 when he received a phone call from WWE Chairman Vince McMahon during Monday night's wrestling broadcast.
Denzel Parker, 15, who attends Landstown High School, was one of eight fans to win a share of $1 million during the show, according to the World Wrestling Entertainment Web site.
Parker said in a telephone interview Tuesday that his father didn't believe he had won.
"I just ran up into my parents' room," he said. "I started jumping up and down.
"I'm going to give some of the money to the church, of course, save some of the money for college and save some of it for a car."
Parker said he'd also like to buy his family some gifts.
The WWE Web site says McMahon will continue giving away money "for a total of $1 million each week as long as he likes."
Viewers must register at the WWE site, www.wwe.com , and watch the show to obtain a code to win, the site says.
The wrestling show airs on Monday nights on the USA Network.
