I love the surreal Carl Hiaasen books. I read an interview where he said he basically takes newspaper clippings from Florida papers and weaves a story. This would make a great Hiassen book .
@SmudgeTheInsultCat Just when you want it to be true, you find it on snopes[1] (from 2015!) New embellishments, though.

This story is pure gold (literally)!!!
From the headline to the last sentence.
You know it's going to be good when it starts with "Florida*.

It's not true, according to Snopes, though so close to the feasible that it could be true.
There really are people whacked-out enough to do this, and also stupid enough to buy a ticket.
Let's not forget that the medieval Catholic church had a nice little earner selling pardons from your sins. Essentially the same thing.

Verdict: False
There is no credible record of the Florida couple being arrested for such a thing.
It just gets better and better; the last sentence is killer!
I live for stories like this.
