It might have been corporate training that drove Jones Lang LaSalle city fringe office leasing manager Matt Collins to "deal" at Channel Seven's "Deal-a-drome" recently. But in the end, he really shouldn't have.
The Britain-born agent, who backpacked to Australia 10 years ago before setting up camp, walked away from the game show Deal Or No Deal this week with $23,000. While this is an excellent outcome, Mr Collins would have been better "holding off" on a deal and winning a $50,000 prize.
Mr Collins will use the cash to pay for his wedding with his Australian bride, who also picked up a $500 prize in the show.
