I'm surprised they'd even admit that it was designed not to ever hit a jackpot...then they give the guy 2 free buffet coupons in place of the $100k. 
I'd sue their asses.

Personally, I think it's her fault. Yeah, the contest was stupid, as there was an obvious chance for danger, however, it always comes down to being your own responsibility to protect yourself, and do your best to know what you're getting in to. I know the husband is just looking for someone to blame (besides his wife) at this point, and likely for a way to generate a quick few bucks to secure himself a nice future at the expense of the station, but I really don't think they're liable.
What do you guys think?

What if they had a contest that said anyone that shows up to the station wins and some fool gets run over by a car when they cross the street? Some responsibility has to rest on the contestants. We should outlaw water instead.
New political agenda.....Fighting the war against poisonous water.

The husband is probably looking to compensate for lost wages because of his wife's death, she might have been a contributor to her families income and the result of her death has put a financial hardship upon the family. Personally, the reason I don't believe its her fault is because she only went into the contest on the conditions of what the station had told her of the contest prior to the start of, which probably didn't make the risks very apparent. The typical person can't assume all the risks in the situation, it was the stations responsibility to have researched all the health and safety aspects before undertaking the contest, and not the contestants. At least that's my standpoint, which comes from the industry that I work in which is heavily health and safety oriented. In my job you have to identify EVERY potential risk before you go on the jobsite, and that includes liability for errant parties that might wonder onto your jobsite and hurt themselves on your equipment. You are ALWAYS liable, even for stupid idiots, and that's what the radio station should have thought of.
