FCC regulations say contest descriptions can't be false, misleading or deceptive and that stations must conduct contests as advertised. Stations in two other states have been fined for contests that told listeners they'd won cash prizes without specifying they were in Italian or Turkish lira, not U.S. dollars.

If you want to disect what they said and that their description should not lead people to believe that it was cash instead of candy then why say you'll be '100 grand richer' instead of '
a 100 grand
bar richer?
You honestly think that people would listed for hours and then drive to the station to pick up a prize that is worth less than a dollar?
The law has routinely sided with the plaintiff in these matters. Look at the Toy Yoda case or the Turkish Millionaire for examples.
