Powerball Winner Nolan Daniels Is NOT Giving You His Money, Thousands of Facebookers Sharing Hoax Photo
Everyone (well almost everyone) wishes they were holding one of the winning $500-million Powerball tickets from Wednesday night's drawing. A guy named Nolan Daniels supposedly does, and if you believe everything you read on the Internet, he might give you a million dollars just for sharing his photo.
Sound too good to be true? It is. It's just another hoax some troll posted to Facebook, so stop sharing his photoshopped photo!
The above photo (minus the hoax graphic) was posted by "Nolan Daniels" with the caption,
Looks like I won't be going to work EVER!!!! Share this photo and I will give a random person 1 million dollars!
Surprise, surprise....it's a hoax. A hoax that more than 738,000 people have fallen for so far.
According to the Huffington Post, one of the giveaways is that the numbers on the photoshopped ticket are not in numerical order. If the ticket were real, they would be. I'm also wondering how now one questioned such a claim from a Facebook account that looks like it was created yesterday. And the photo now even has its own message thread on Snopes.
I have seen at least a dozen friends share this photo in the past hour, I'm assuming, in hopes that they might receive a million-dollar windfall. But they won't.
so, stop it.
Please?
You know the guy that created this thing is sitting back in front of his computer laughing at all the people he fooled. Don't give him any more satisfaction.
