what the hell is going on ? Merle Butler lottery instagram giveaway?

[Hshhsjas Sadas]

so on instagram this couple who won the lotto two years ago is "giving" away 1k to anyone who shows support for his wife who is very ill . so the accounts name is @merlebutler and hundreds of people are reposting the somewhat of the chain letter that explains what the couple claims to be going on. So i look up her name and the couple did the lotto two years back , but on "her" or whoever is really on theres instagram, they posted a short video of the transactions made online of 1k as of todays date, like in the paypal transaction format, .So what the hell is going on , is this just some sort of fraud , everyone seems to just be going along with the flow and so far veery few people are skeptical about this besides me. The instagram even has a picture of oprah winfreys twitter saying to follow her @merlebutler for a chance to win 1k, someone commented claiming they went to oprahs twittwer page and digged for the twitter posts and she didnt have that post. im honestly confused right now, has anyone heard anything about this, go look it up for yourselves ? reply back to what you think ??
