The US law system agrees that verbal contracts can be used as a formal agreement. When the DJ said he was going to give the winner one hundred grand, he led the winner to believe that it was money, end of story. The court system doesn't care what his true intentions were if it was a deceitful trick. He DID agree to a verbal contract on live radio and he broke it by claiming his intentions were misunderstood. A verbal contract was broken so this is definitely a law-worthy case. It's up to the court system to decide if his true intentions are going to count in this case. If they do, she might not get anything. If they don't, then she will get $100,000 as "damages" for a broken verbal contract.
