Girl Loses Hannah Montana Tix for Lying
A 6-year-old girl who won tickets to a Hannah Montana concert had her prize forfeited by the contest sponsors when it was discovered that her winning essay was a lie. In the essay, she falsely claimed her father died from a roadside bombing in Iraq.
The girls mother eventually fessed up that the essay and the military information she provided about her daughter’s father were untrue.
“We did the essay and that’s what we did to win. We did whatever we could do to win,” [Priscilla] Ceballos said in an interview Friday with KDFW-TV of Dallas.
She is now in the running for the mother of the year award.
