The "100 Grand" Lawsuit

Posted on June 24, 2005 by John Day

Radio station has a contest. If you are the 10th caller during a given hour you get "100 Grand." Woman wins, and they give her a "100 Grand" candy bar. Woman, disappointed and undoubtedly a little embarrassed because she told her family she had won $100,000, sued the radio station. Read the articlehere.

I don't know how I feel about this. I would have to hear the announcments concerning the prize to try to see in what context they used the phrase "100 Grand."

One thing is for sure - the station has gotten alot more than $100,000 worth of publicity out of this little stunt - which may well have been the intention all along.

Didn't a Hooters waitress win a similar suit when promised a "Toyota" as a prize and receiving a "toy Yoda"?
