Talk about trying to win the legal lottery in place of the real one.
A woman known as Rakel Daniele (How cute that rhymes) has decided that when WABC accidentally called the numbers (this'll get a laugh too, who uses these numbers other than Rakel Daniele) 1,2,3,4,5 with a Powerball number of -- wait for it -- 6 she thought she'd won. WABC-TV accidentally posted 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 with the Mega Ball of 12. She said when she saw the same numbers posted the next day and found out they were wrong she was "damaged".
Yes, we definitely think she was damaged alright. When you read some of the filings in the case you might think she's damaged too.
Get ready for these damaging claims brought to you by Daniele's lawyer Evan Baker:
*She was "severely damaged" by relying on the "false and incorrect" lottery results.
*WABC compounded her damge-ed-ness by "negligently, carelessly, recklessly and/or intentionally" rebroadcasting the erroneous numbers the next day.
*The incorrect re-broadcast of that news edition with the incorrect numbers is "beyond all possible bounds of decency, and were atrocious, and utterly intolerable in a civilized community".
The litigant is demanding $75,000.
Wanna know what is intolerable in a civilized society? People like Rakel Daniele plugging up the court system and using up valuable resources to try and get rich over NOTHING. Literally NOTHING. Ms. Daniele, get over yourself. Mr. Baker maybe there is a future for you in writing for 'The Puffery Quarterly'.
