Remember this name… Shlomo Rechnitz… He’s a California businessman who owns 80 assisted living facilities throughout the state and Tuesday he purchased almost 18,000 Powerball tickets for his employees. He gave his employees each a ticket with a note that said, ‘We will provide the ticket. You provide the dream.’ One of the tickets he gifted turned out to be one of the three jackpot winners Wednesday night! Unfortunately, we’re seeing reports that this story isn’t actually true now. Tablet reports:

But as delightful as the Powerball feel-good story was, it wasn’t actually true. Not because Rechnitz didn’t buy the tickets, but because none of them won. The nurse in his California facility did indeed celebrate her victory with her co-workers, in a scene captured in multiple media reports. But as The Daily News reports, she had been pranked by her son, who sent her a photo of a winning ticket that he claimed was hers.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s bear attack movie The Revenant got 12 Oscar nominations for top billing with Mad Max: Fury Road racking up 10 nods. Chris Rock will host the The 88th Academy Awards Sunday, February 28th on CBS.

Word to the wise, if you go shopping for an engagement ring, don’t take someone rich or famous with you like Jason AldeanTyler Farr found that out the hard way and says, "Words of advice to anyone that's never been engaged. 'Don't let Jason Aldean help you pick out a ring.' I had to sell a tractor and my dog to buy that ring."
