Pissed Cup-Goer Intent On Returning Wallet To Ch9 Is Now Sober & Regretful

The hero of yesterday’s Melbourne Cup was not a horse named Almandin, but a human named Shae Miller.

She’s the Good Samaritan who, after one too many trackside Yellowglens, decided it was absolutely *crucial* to interrupt a Channel 9 reporter’s live cross seeking help to reunite a lost wallet containing the princely sum of $3 with its owner.

It’s a glorious 0:49 seconds that perfectly encapsulates each and every facet of tfw you juuust tip over into the “too drunk to function” territory.

A dusty Shae woke to the realisation that her act of charity had gone viral, and was invited onto the TODAY Show to chat being lauded as a national hero.

“You had a big one yesterday, didn’t you?” laughed Lisa. “Awwww yeah, you could say that, yes,” she replied sheepishly.

As for how Shae – an office manager for an environmental company – and her drunken antics have been received by those that know her best, her Mum is still proud, though “way too many family members saw it [the video].”

She wound up handing in the wallet to security, “which in hindsight I should have done to start with” (hindsight and sobriety go hand-in-hand, sweet Shae).

Have a watch: 

A bloody good sport and a bloody good bird.
