The state laws in Atlanta are pretty strict when it comes to gambling. Michael and Michele Hardin filed a lawsuit against NBC’s ‘Deal Or No Deal’ gameshow, saying that they had broken the law by inviting viewers to text in to take part in a game.

The couple said the show’s text competition was an illegal gambling contract so they, and all other viewers, should get their 99 cents back!

Luckily, the Georgia Supreme Court saw sense and threw the case out of court, saying that a text message is not a bet and the feature was promotional, not gambling.
