Did Billy Lane win $50,000 and was there an interview?
I have received many letters asking about these two questions. I will address them one at a time.
Did Billy Lane win $50,000.00 throwing a football at a college game?
Yes! But NOT the chopper builder Billy Lane. This billy Lane lives in Oklahoma, he is an aircraft mechanic, has a wife and two kids. This man won the 50 grand by throwing a football into a hole in a giant Dr. Pepper can during halftime at a “big 12 conference game”.
The deal was, the contestant, Billy Lane would receive $10,000.00 for each time he hit the hole in the Dr. Pepper can and had 10 tries at it. Mr. Lane hit the hole in the can 5 times winning $50,000.00. So, I guess the answer to this question would be yes and no.
Was there an interview with Billy lane on the Scott Ferrall show?
This question is a puzzle in itself. I found out about this alleged interview from a comment of a blog visitor and did a post about it here. Why would Billy Lane do such an interview? Moreover, why would he “tell all” to a sports commentator on Sirius Radio! Scott Ferrall only lead to this type of interview would be because he is on the Howard Stern show.
Any way, I have emailed the Scott Ferrall show and Sirius Radio about the interview and have received no response form either party. The Sirius Radio Billy Lane interview never happened to the best of my knowledge. If anyone can prove any different, your comment and proof is welcome.

You know anyone named Billy D. Lane has got to be wishing their Mommy named them another name. They probably would like to change names. I guess if they have the name minus the tatoos, gaudy jewerly and hairdo it doesn’t matter. Nobody even checked if it was the cager killed biker Billy Lane they heard the win and reported it was the Billy Lane cager killed biker Billy Lane…..they just went with the story. Guess they do not check facts the way you do Mike.

Why would anyone want to be Billy Lane, minus the drinking and driving?
What man would want his own business, fans, and Playboy model banging him everynight! It would really suck to be Billy Lane, minus this accident. Forget the gaudy jewelry, hairdo and tattoos because prior to this tragedy you would have stood in line for hours just to smell one of his farts.
