The organizers of a Hannah Montana ticket giveaway are taking the tickets away from a six-year-old Texas girl who won the contest after she penned a fake essay exclaiming that her father died during the War in Iraq in order to secure four of the season’s hottest concert tickets. Club Libby Lu, a Chicago store chain who sponsored the contest, withdrew the prize Saturday and awarded it to another contestant.

“With this decision, we hope to revive the intended spirit of the contest, which was designed to make a little girl’s holidays extra special,” Club Libby Lu chief executive Mary Drolet said in a statement on Saturday.

The girl had submitted an essay that began: “My daddy died this year in Iraq.” The girl’s mother told company officials that the girl’s father died in a roadside bombing in April. But the Pentagon had no record of the soldier she identified.

Company officials surprised the girl at a Club Libby Lu store at a mall in suburban Dallas. She won a makeover that included a Hannah Montana wig, as well as the grand prize: airfare for four to Albany, New York, and four tickets to a sold-out Hannah Montana concert January 9th.
