According to the story, a woman watching the lottery numbers on TV saw her own picks displayed for a $250,000 prize, but the numbers were wrong. So she’s suing the station for $75,000 for inflicting emotional distress. According to her lawyer, the broadcast and rebroadcast of the wrong Mega Millions numbers went "beyond all possible bounds of decency, and were atrocious, and utterly intolerable in a civilized community." Yes, of course you should get 1/3 of an actual winning prize just for being misinformed that you had the actual winning prize. Well, there’s something atrocious and utterly intolerable in a civilized community going on here, but it’s not anything the television station did.
