On 12 January 2016, the entertainment web site Action News 3 published a fake news article claiming that a $1.5 billion Powerball lottery had been cancelled: Action News 3 is not a credible web site. The above-quoted story is a work of fiction and not a real news story. Action News 3 does not contain a readily available disclaimer labeling its content as fiction, but there are several ways to tell that the above-quoted story is fake. For one, no reputable publication has filed a similar report. For another, the official Powerball web site also confirms that the drawing on 13 January 2016 has not been cancelled.
