Nolan Daniels Powerball Hoax: Man Posts Fake Lottery Ticket To Facebook (PHOTO)

Nolan Daniels Powerball Hoax: Man Posts Fake Lottery Ticket To Facebook (PHOTO)

A Facebook user named Nolan Daniels posted a photo of himself holding what appears to be a winning Powerball ticket from Wednesday's record $588 million lottery drawing to his feed, according to the Savannah Morning News. The post is reportedly a hoax.

The public photo, which was shared at about 10 p.m. Thursday evening and had received more than 450,000 shares by Friday afternoon, included the statement:

Looks like I won't be going to work EVER!!!! Share this photo and I will give a random person 1 million dollars!

Citing the Powerball website, Gawker points out that the numbers on the ticket were "not in numerical order... [as] a real ticket would be" and called the image "poorly photoshopped."

But the post was enough to fool a lot of people, even after a winner in Missouri came forward, and video footage of the alleged second winner surfaced.

Powerball has yet to confirm a second winner of the historic jackpot. The remaining winning ticket was bought in Arizona.

Ronda Rousey: 'I try to have as much sex possible before I fight'

Ronda Rousey: 'I try to have as much sex possible before I fight'

Muhammad Ali says he used to abstain from sex for six weeks before a fight. MMA fighter Ronda Rousey is taking a different training method.

Rousey, widely considered the No. 1 pound-for-pound female fighter in the world, was asked by Jim Rome how long a fighter should abstain before a bout.

"For girls, it raises your testosterone, so I try to have as much sex as possible before I fight," she said.

Rousey quickly clarified that her training regimen depends on whether she has a steady boyfriend or not.

"I don't put out Craigslist ads or anything," she said.

The great debate about whether athletes should have sex before competition rages on. Science aside, the best quote on the subject comes from Casey Stengel.

"It ain't getting it that hurts them, it's staying up all night looking for it," he once said.

Halle Berry, Gabriel Aubry reach truce over his violent Thanksgiving tussle with actress' fiance Olivier Martinez

Halle Berry, Gabriel Aubry reach truce over his violent Thanksgiving tussle with actress' fiance Olivier Martinez

It’s still not clear if authorities will pursue a criminal case against Aubry. He was taken into custody Thanksgiving morning on suspicion of misdemeanor battery after the fight with Martinez.

AP/LOS ANGELES SUPERIOR COURT

It’s still not clear if authorities will pursue a criminal case against Halle Berry ex Gabriel Aubry.

Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry have reached a truce over the violent turkey-day tussle at the Oscar winner’s mansion.

“The parties have reached an amicable agreement. There will be no further statements regarding this matter,” Berry lawyer Blair Berk told the Daily News Thursday.

She said the cease-fire statement was joined by Aubry’s criminal lawyer Shawn Holley.

Both sides were in a Los Angeles courtroom Thursday to discuss the settlement with the family court judge overseeing the paternity case for Berry’s 4-year-old daughter with Aubry.

It’s still not clear if authorities will pursue a criminal case against Aubry.

He was taken into custody Thanksgiving morning on suspicion of misdemeanor battery after a fight with Berry’s fiancé Olivier Martinez.

Police said Berry called cops to report someone assaulting her boyfriend and that Martinez made a citizen’s arrest of Aubry.

A law enforcement source said Martinez claimed Aubry started the brawl by shoving him and throwing a punch at his face that missed and hit his shoulder.

Aubry, a Calvin Klein model, later claimed Martinez violently attacked him without provocation and threatened to kill him.

Multiple sources told the Daily News it’s highly probably the case will disappear because Aubry has no history of violent crime and barely touched Martinez.

Instead, Aubry ended up with a broken rib and a smashed face with one eye swollen shut and a deep cut that required stitches.

Celebrity Marriages That Didn't Last: 15 Signs These Relationships Were Doomed

"Till death do us part ... or something" should be Hollywood's new mantra when it comes to marriages. And while half of marriages in the United States already end in divorce, that number seems like a cruel underestimate when it comes to those who lead their lives in the spotlight.

But sometimes telltale signs of trouble can be spotted miles away. Here are 15 universal signs that these celebrity relationships were doomed even before these former couples dialed up their lawyer.

Lindsay Lohan's Fight: Will Actress Be Barred From New York Nightclub?

If you or I got arrested outside a trendy Manhattan nightclub for allegedly throwing a punch, it would be fair to assume we wouldn't be welcomed back. That is not the case with Lindsay Lohan.

Lohan, a regular at the Chelsea hotspot Avenue, was banned from the club earlier this year following an incident in which she tweeted that Justin Timberlake was seeing another woman that wasn't his wife, Jessica Biel. But after Lohan was arrested for hitting a fellow patron there early Thursday morning, the club's staff has not issued a similar statement.

"It goes to show that talking publicly about a celebrity behavior inside the club is far more important than a actual behavior," one nightlife fixture told The Huffington Post, asking that we didn't share her name for fear of being banned. "The message is, you can punch someone, but if you talk about it, you will get barred."

Avenue's owner and publicist did not return calls seeking comment. However, other clubs' representatives and owners were happy to say Lindsay was still welcome at their establishments.

Matt Levine, co-owner of Cocktail Bodega and the Sons of Essex, says Lindsay is not barred from any of his restaurants and lounges. Shadow PR, which represents some of the finest hospitality ventures in the city including, 1-OAK, Butter, The Darby, Abe & Arthurs, Catch, The Chandelier Room and Tenjune, also made it clear Lindsay is still welcome.

"It takes a lot for a celebrity to get banned from a cool club in NYC," one insider said. "It’s for sure a
case of one rule for Lindsay and another for everyone else."

Lindsay Lohan arrested: Real-life performance at Avenue lounge much more entertaining than 'Liz & Dick' effort Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/molloy-lohan-antics-thrilling-liz-dick-article-1.1210734#ixzz2Dkm71Sx6

Lindsay Lohan arrested: Real-life performance at Avenue lounge much more entertaining than 'Liz & Dick' effort

The 26-year-old actress gets away with everything. She has a rap sheet longer than many rappers and athletes, but you rarely see her behind bars. Lohan has slugged people, chased them down like dogs in her car, she’s been busted for cocaine and virtually got off scot-free.

Lindsay Lohan (second right) hides her face as she's escorted from the 10th Precinct on Thursday after being charged for assaulting a woman at Club Avenue in Manhattan.

The video of Lindsay Lohan crying and yelling “Are you kidding?” to cops as they hauled her away in handcuffs probably had more viewers than her movie “Liz & Dick” on Sunday night.

Lohan’s real-life repeat performance at the Avenue lounge on Thursday was in Lohan’s usual time slot — last call after Lohan punched Tiffany Mitchell in the face. Mitchell is a psychic who reportedly charges $2,500 to “cleanse people’s auras.” Oddly, she never saw this coming.

Some witnesses claim that Lohan became jealous when musician Max George, whom she latched onto after his band The Wanted opened for Justin Bieber at Madison Square Garden, began talking to Mitchell. The 28-year-old psychic was wearing a fur coat, circa 1980, and George had his choice of far younger women.

Lohan fled out the back door and into an SUV, a police source told the Daily News, trying to get away yet again.

Lindsay Lohan stars as Elizabeth Taylor in Lifetime's biopic 'Liz & Dick.'

Why not? She gets away with everything. The 26-year-old has a rap sheet longer than many rappers and athletes, but you rarely see her behind bars. Lohan has slugged people,  chased them down like dogs in her car, she’s been busted for cocaine and virtually got off scot-free.

In February 2011, police say Lohan stole a $2,500 necklace from a California jewelry store. She was sentenced to 120 days in jail, but got community service instead. She never performed it, so on the following Nov. 7, a judge sent her to jail for 30 days. Lohan was out within hours. 

In June, she crashed her Porsche into an 18-wheeler and authorities said she lied to cops, saying her assistant was driving. She was charged on that lie in California Thursday — the same day she was arrested in the New York assault.

Here’s my question: What if a black or Hispanic man committed the same crimes that Lindsay Lohan was accused of? 

“If (one of my clients) stole a necklace worth over $1,000, the judge might reduce the felony to petit larceny, a misdemeanor, if he had no prior record,” top defense lawyer William Rita said. “At best, they would get three years probation. But if that probation was violated, they would be incarcerated.”

It remains to be seen whether there’s a judge on either coast who will treat Lindsay Lohan like anybody else who breaks the law.
