I have a modicum of empathy for this lady.

If I heard my winning numbers called twice over the telly I would have fallen prostrate to the floor with a stroke.

The only thing I ever won in my life was a cheap ash tray with a plastic elephant on it during a GOP fund-raiser raffle.

You should take that thing to the Antiques Road show! You never know... ;-)

The important thing is you did win. You can proudly step into the winner's circle and never look back.

"WABC's conduct was "beyond all possible bounds of decency, and were atrocious, and utterly intolerable in a civilized community."

That statement pretty much covers the MSM.

I don't have much sympathy for anyone who gets sucked in by bad reporting.

I don't think she deserves any monetary compensation.

But in this case, she can shoot the messenger.

My mother once took the weekly tickets off the refrigerator and went and looked up the winning numbers....only to discover she had won.....30 million, or so.

She called my brother and me to say "X amount will go to charity...X amount will go to you two" etc...

About an hour later she called back to say that while she'd been sleeping in, my step-father had run to the store and picked up a "These are the numbers that won" ticket, so he could check their tickets that morning.

He had put the check ticket with the regular tickets on the refrigerator....

It was all pretty funny.

But for an hour or so......your mind just spins.

I wouldn't sue but I sure would be disappointed...
