NEWARK, N.J., A New Jersey woman says a New York City television station caused her thousands of dollars in emotional damage when it broadcast the wrong lottery numbers.
In a lawsuit against WABC-TV and its parent companies, American Broadcasting Co. and Walt Disney, Rakel Daniele of Fort Lee said she believed she was $250,000 richer and was "severely damaged" upon learning that was not true, The Record of Hackensack reported Saturday.
The suit, originally filed in New Jersey Superior Court, was transferred to federal court last week.
In legal papers, Daniele said WABC compounded the wrong by broadcasting the same incorrect numbers twice.
The last was NOT a link but OK I see your point;-{)
From the Dick Durbin School of Hyperbole.
Almost makes you wonder if the mod has some intimate knowledge or experience of clicking on links that are full of viruses.
Hmmm...I wonder what kind of links those would be...teehee...
I play the home version of the lottery- Take a buck out of my wallet and throw it out the window.
Years ago at a holiday gathering with various extended family types, I was given some lottery tickets. Ick. The “giver” was eager to know if she er I had won anything. Fortunately not. Her attachment to the “gift” was weird. I would have promptly handed her any winning ticket so as not to partake in the creepy head game.
Right click, copy target, use link scan on your virus suite to see if a link has a virus. It take about two seconds and you never have to go to it. That one had 12 warnings for trojans and spyware.
Some types of links jump out as obvious candidates to check.
Can I be your neighbor?
LOL! Alas, my tenant below me gets all my lottery money.
LOL!
LOL!
That is good to know.
My internet experience is pretty limited. Pretty much just stay here.
But there are plenty of links on FR that are full of viruses or something.
They make me sick...
I have a landlord, too.
“Pre-existing condition. Court finds for the plaintiffs and orders the defendant to pay the plaintiffs’ reasonable legal costs. Court will stand in recess.”
[BANG!]
The giver was eager to know if she er I had won anything. Fortunately not

Not knowing the person, I can just imagine if you had won a couple of hundred bucks while she may say she wants/wanted nothing, the general course of conversation next 2,000 meetings the subject of “I gave him .... and he didn’t really share it or thank me properly”...
So, you are correct, don’t give ‘em, don’t take ‘em.
Only a ‘gambler’ would see my true meaning in this statement.
“I won’t play the Lottery till it gets around 200 mil cause I don’t want to ‘waste my luck’ on a 20 or 30 million dollar win.”
Only fair to tell you that there was a time when I would bet on which fly landed on the wall first, then back it up with which one would take off first.
Granted most bets like that are a ‘push’ but it is ‘action’.
Was so bad that on Mon AM when the local radio station would play the National Anthem at 10AM I would call my bookie..... ha....
Junk suit. Emotional distress is only actionable if intentional, and generally only if accompanied by physical harm.
/not legal advice
I believe it’s worth at least two in the bush.
What did he do to make up for doing something so stupid?
