Man Fools More Than 500,000 Facebook Users Pretending To Be Lottery Winner

As we learned earlier with the ubiquitous "In response to the new Facebook guidelines" posts, Facebook users will share just about anything — especially if they've got a shot at $1 million. Recently, a Facebook user named Nolan Daniels posted a photo of himself with the $587.5 million-winning Powerball ticket, with the caption, "Looks like I won't be going to work EVER!!!! Share this photo and I will give a random person 1 million dollars!" More than 500,000 people have shared the photo. One problem, though: the ticket isn't real.
