This Player's Reaction to Winning $250K Is All of Us When We Win At "Fortnite"

When you accidentally win a game of Fortnite... and a quarter of a million dollars.

For those of us who enjoy a game or two of Fortnite, winning is definitely a special treat.

But in competitions, when there's actual money on the line, winning means something else too, and for one player, Morgausse, it meant $US250,000.

I just won $250,000 lol

Despite being considered a bit of a gaming "nobody", Morgausse went on to take out the top title in PAX West's Summer Skirmish tournament, winning $US225,000 for first place and a further $US25,000 for taking out one of seven grand final matches.

He was pretty stoked.
