Horseshoe Cincinnati gives $1,000,000 prize to wrong guy

http://gma.yahoo.com/casino-mix-make...opstories.html

So they have a drawing for a million dollar prize and announce that Kevin Lewis has won. Kevin Lewis goes up to the stage and they give him the big check and take the pictures. Then when they go to validate his driver's license and I assume his rewards card they find out that he is not he correct Kevin Lewis. Caeser's to their credit gave him the prize as well as the correct guy who was not in attendance(winner did not have to be present to win).

They must have read their bad press on PFA regarding video poker 7 star tier credits, so they put together a nice publicity stunt.

They pretty much had to give it to him after all of that. It would have looked terrible if they didn't, and he might have had a viable lawsuit against them anyway.

I wonder if someone got fired over this.
