she shouldn't get the money, just a tasteless prank.
but...
the radio station seriously should not have tried to pacify her with the $5K, that could be seen as an admission of guilt.
the station could potentially be liable for false advertising. it soaks up the revenue generated by the increased listener-ship the contest provides without taking the associated risk.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
