Toy Yoda, anyone?

A woman who thought she won $100,000 in a radio station giveaway but instead got a Nestlé “100 Grand” candy bar is suing the station for breach of contract.

WLTO-FM in Lexington, Kentucky, offered “100 Grand” on DJ Slick’s night program to anyone who listened to the station for a particular period and then was the tenth caller at a specified time.  When Norreasha Gill tried to claim her prize, she was told she had won a candy bar, not $100,000.  The station eventually offered her $5,000, but she says she wants the other $95,000, too.

ADD:  The Smoking Gun website has the story and a copy of the complaint.  (Thanks to Ronald Chen for the pointer.)
