Cnet's poor research - Megalotto site fake
by leflyman October 28, 2005 8:20 AM PDT
If CNet had bothered to check the WHOIS domain records, they
would have realized that the "MegaLottoJackpot" site was actually
not created by ABC, but by a fan who also runs an online forum
(who also just happens to be the first "winner" holding $164 million
Photoshopped check) . The site was intended to be confused for an
"official" one by placing a link to ABC's Terms of Service at the
bottom. Nicely done hoax, Mr. Aire.

"Le Flyman" is correct (thank you for pointing this out!). We've updated the story to reflect this, and the mystery continues...
It's too bad....

.... that so many people have no reality of their own such that they
must turn to the well scripted TV reality shows to find a life. It will
be a relief when the reality shows die off. I might even go back to
watching network TV again....

.... or maybe not.
