The DJ didn't technically lie, in that his words were literally true. The wording was carefully chosen, however, to decieve, to lead listeners to believe something other than the literal meaning of the words. The woman who won the contest clearly interpreted the words in the way the DJ intended. He carefully chose his words to mean literally one thing, but to imply another. The law says you cannot do this. The woman is very likely going to get a pretty good settlement from this, though I suspect less than $100,000.
