    Lottery hoax causes riot

    Can't help but wonder where some people get these kinds of crazy ideas.

    I'd be skeptical of some stranger offering to pay for my stuff.

      You'd be skeptical.
      I'd be skeptical.
      But the average Joe would be like "FREE STUFF!!! WOOHOOO!!!"

      "What? No free stuff? I want it anyway!!!!"

      I hope they catch each person who stole from them.

        Interesting you brought that up. It reminded me of a story about TWO Craigslist hoaxes where someone posted a fake ad saying "Everything's free. Come here and get whatever you want!"

          I saw the one out of Oregon earlier this year (or last year?). It's quite scary when things like that happen.

          It's even scarier when CL scrutinizes legitemate ads on their site yet allow ones like those to go on.

          But - I think it is only a matter of time before someone holds CL accountable for ads like that.

            BTW Not only did she NOT win the lotto, she didn't even have any money to pay for the limo ride!

                Ok, so major idiot points to the woman who started this whole insanity. Even bigger idiot points to the shoppers who destroyed the store and stole stuff. Look I understand they'd be pissed about not getting stuff they thought they would get, but that's no reason to go on a rampage. I can guarantee you one or two people started the craziness and everyone else just followed suit.

                To quote Men In Black: "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it."

                Also they better put that crazy woman on the hook for the cost of having to get all those police officers out to the store.

                  In the video clip, shes in the cop car, clapping and smiling and waving?

                  Shes an idiot. Ugh. Looks like she did this for attention and out of boredom.

                  I seriously can not express how disgusted I am by this.
