ABC duped by Powerball lottery winner hoaxNews Story
The brief hoax involving a man claiming to be an out-of-work truck driver who won the $365 million Powerball jackpot was months in the making. It involved two men who have jerked the chains of the national news media for years and was financed by a Texas author seeking publicity for his books, one of the pranksters said Tuesday. We had decided that one of these days, there'll be a record jackpot, and we'll have to go, said Bob Pagani, who portrayed the unemployed man who spent $2,000 on

ABC duped by Powerball lottery winner hoaxReply
HAPPY FRIDAY...2/24/2006 While I do have a great sense of humor, my feelings about the hoax are really indifferent. Simply because there are so many Lottery scams/hoaxs being perpetrated by very clever people, recorded in the Lottery news for our information....I enjoy seeing the Third Estate being hung out to dry, but the principle of the issue, of the hoax is what bothers me, because someone is always coming up w/some clever way to shaft people, and most often very negatively.

Michigan man thinks lottery's notification of online win is a hoaxNews Story
These days people are conditioned to be suspicious of notifications of lottery wins that unexpectedly arrive, so one could be sympathetic when a Michigan man first thought his real winner alert was a hoax. The Kalamazoo man couldn't believe his luck. In fact, he didn't believe it at first. Gunther Hega, 57, matched four of the five white numbers drawn 1, 19, 31, 48, and 61 (the Powerball number was 6) in the July 27 drawing, while also playing the Power Play option to multiply his prize.

Yes, and of course we can always have complete faith in the scientific community, Nancy. They would never lie to promote their agenda. The Piltdown Man was a hoax in which bone fragments were presented as the fossilised remains of a previously unknown early human. These fragments consisted of parts of a skull and jawbone, said to have been collected in 1912 from a gravel pit at Piltdown, East Sussex, England. The Latin name Eoanthropus dawsoni ( Dawson's dawn-man , after the collector

Actually if people knew the real story behind all this, they would call him a genius. Why? The person that funded this so-called hoax is a well-respected businessman, famous author, super copywriter and a friend of mine. And it was to actually get the medias attention to promote a book. Thats all it was used for and they've succeeded. You see when people hear the word Hoax they automatically think its a scam and all kind of thoughts goes through the mind, but yet its the media who made it

Ct. man claims he lost $254M Powerball ticketReply
The CT lottery webpage still only confirms that the winning ticket was bought in Fairfield County. It sounds like the sanitation worker story could be a hoax (the Stamford Advocate blog story definitely makes it sound that way - but I don't see why the lottery official quoted in the blog would say they could only confirm Fairfield County - I'm sure they could confirm which store and time it was purchased). If it's not a hoax, I feel sorry for him that he can't find the ticket. It's easy to qu
