You Won $100K From The NY Daily News! So Did You & You & You & You. (Oops! Sorry)

Subtitled: You will be stampeded by a sounder of lawyers if you’re standing anywhere near the Manhattan Courthouse today.

I guess I’m forced to score this Government: 1 / Private Enterprise: 0.
(Unless there’s been a state sponsored lottery that I’ve missed who’s made the same mistake the NY Daily News & their scratch off game card printers did this Saturday):

The New York Daily News wants the company that manufactures its scratch-off game cards – which mistakenly allowed thousands of people to believe they had won a contest Saturday – to “go beyond what the rules say” and pay more money to the would-be winners…In a story in Monday’s paper, the Daily News said it had launched an internal investigation to determine how so many people were given incorrect game cards that made them believe they had won the contest, which would have paid each $100,000…

Whether it’s an oops on the part of the printer or one of these I got for my birthday a few years ago won’t make much difference to the recipients - Two of whom I know personally.

On a small side note, Mort Zuckerman can wipe his ass with $100 bills…But I’m not gonna hold my breath waiting for him to cough up 1/3 Billion to the 3,000+ people like Anthony Big-Head here at the office who aren’t goint to scratch this off as a printing error.

I’m holding a ticket for $10,000, but, according to my brother, I don’t need the money.
I’m just going to sit on it. Damned if I’m driving down to 31st St. to join the ranks of the pissed off. Best thing to happen is the people the TV interviewers are speaking to are more than likely black, fat and needing a kidney for their child…after they get back from Disney World. I’m eagerly awaiting the Rev. Sharpton to put in his 3 cents. Praise JESUS!
